AA Research Foundation

The AA Research Foundation was established in 2011 as a dedicated way for the New Zealand Automobile Association to invest more into road safety research.

Sponsoring more research was a commitment the AA made as part of the UN Decade of Action on Road Safety (2011-2020). The AA has now invested $2.25 million over eight years into the AA Research Foundation, enabling it to commission a number of valuable research projects. In addition, extra funding has been obtained for some projects that are jointly funded with other road safety organisations.
