The American Automobile Association (AAA) is a not-for-profit federation of motor clubs that provides automotive, travel, insurance, and financial services to members across North America. Founded in 1902 in Chicago, Illinois, AAA was established to advocate for motorists and improve road conditions during the early days of automobile travel. Today, the organization serves over 60 million members in the United States and Canada, offering services such as roadside assistance, travel planning, insurance products, and driver safety programs. AAA also operates the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, which conducts research on road safety and driver behavior. Headquartered in Heathrow, Florida, AAA functions as an umbrella organization for regional motor clubs, maintaining a strong presence in transportation advocacy and consumer services. The association remains privately held and continues to promote safe mobility and travel convenience for its members.
