Community Traffic Safety Awards Program
CTSAP Purpose
The AAA Community Traffic Safety Awards
Program is an association-wide awards program
for communities of all sizes. Its purpose is to encourage communities to
address local traffic safety issues in a coordinated and cost-effective way. AAA
clubs benefit from the good will the program generates, particularly with local
police departments.
Some clubs present
the awards at special ceremonies.
Procedure
AAA clubs provide applications to
cities, counties, towns and villages, asking officials to describe the efforts
of their traffic safety committee, participation in National "Safe Routes
to School" efforts, success of their traffic safety
programs, projects and regulations and compilation of traffic statistics. Emphasis is placed on the
“3 E’s” of Enforcement, Education, and Engineering.
Awards
Platinum,
Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards are given to communities based on their efforts
to improve local traffic safety. Supplemental awards may be given as well (noted
with asterisks).
