Allowing students to walk safely to & from school 

 

In 1920, the AAA School Safety Patrol program began, allowing students to be active participants in maintaining a safe walk to and from school. Over 50,000 schools and over 500,000 students worldwide have actively participated as members of the AAA School Safety Patrol. AAA Western and Central New York encourages all schools to initiate their own AAA School Safety Patrol program.
