AAA School Safety Patrol® allows students to walk safely to and from school.

Safety Patrol Badge

Millions of young people across the United States and 30 other nations worldwide volunteer their time to help ensure the safety of fellow classmates traveling to and from school, and to serve as role models for younger students. Today, the AAA School Safety Patrol® has more than 679,000 Patrollers in 35,000 U.S. schools. Education and safety groups around the world have praised the program for reducing injuries and fatalities among schoolchildren ages five to 14.

The club’s Traffic Safety department provides schools with no-cost safety patrol supplies and training, and administers special safety patrol programs throughout the school year. Enrollment forms for the AAA School Safety Patrol® program are generally due in October, however, we will gladly accept them at any time during the school year along with the number of students who have been added to or dropped from patrol.
