The Roadway Safety Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational and charitable organization chartered in 1995 by the American Highway Users Alliance. The Foundation’s predecessor organization, the Automotive Safety Foundation, dates back to 1937 when it was created by automobile and allied industries to coordinate highway safety activities and place the industry effort on a permanent basis. Later in 1966 The Highway Safety Act of 1966 established the National Highway Program Safety Standards, laying the groundwork for federal-state-private sector partnership in traffic crash reduction. Since then, RSF has worked with private- and public-sector safety partners to reduce fatalities and serious injuries attributed to roadway conditions.
