Advocacy and community

At CAA, we're making life a little better for our Members and community. 

Since 1913, CAA has advocated for Canadians both on and off the road.

CAA is a non-profit, Member-driven organization with a deep history of putting Canadians first. 

Although we began advocating for road safety, today we tackle issues that impact everyday life. Whether we focus on distracted driving or air passenger rights, emerging vehicle technology or car theft, extreme weather or consumer towing rights, CAA is working for Canadians.

Car theft

Vehicle theft is a crisis in Ontario. And while it’s easy to think it will happen to someone else, the rate of theft and range of vehicles means it’s impacting more and more consumers.

Extreme weather

From tornados and wildfires to floods and massive storms, extreme weather events are increasing in frequency, impacting people, properties and infrastructure.

Electric vehicles

There's plenty to learn about EVs, but starting with the basics is important. Consider factors like affordability, charge versus range, winter driving, performance, and EV ownership's hidden costs or benefits. These can help you decide if an EV is right for you.

School Safety Patrol

CAA has been working to prevent school zone collisions for nearly a century. That's why we developed the School Safety Patrol—to protect the 1.4 million students who commute by bus or on foot every day.

Safe driving

Since its inception, CAA has led conversations about road safety for all Canadians on a range of issues, from distracted driving or speeding to driving high or not slowing down for emergency vehicles.
