AAA New York State is an association whose membership includes all five New York AAA Clubs. The Association's principal mission is to act collectively on behalf of the Clubs to promote traffic safety and advocate for our 2.6 million AAA members  in the legislative,  administrative and public policy areas.

                                   School Safety Patrol

The AAA School Safety Patrol program in New York State has helped improve safe travel to and from school for the past 82 years. Statistics show a marked reduction in pedestrian fatalities thanks to educational efforts and safety improvements near schools. Since 1949, our Club has awarded lifesaving medals to 35 patrollers who have saved the lives of another person while on duty.

Instill the lifelong learning benefits brought about by the AAA School Safety Patrol and help your school become a safer place. Your young patrollers will benefit too, as they learn:

• Leadership and organizational expertise
• Safe mobility skills and proper traffic interaction
• Responsibility and commitment
• Volunteerism and duty
• The important role of being a dependable citizen

Safety patrollers are trained to direct classmates at street crossings and along designated safe routes to school; to assist in school bus loading, unloading and transit; and to perform other safety-related functions at the direction of school officials. They are selected on the basis of leadership potential, academic standing and character. Start a patrol in your school today.
