ATSSA PAC
Oversight Committee
American Traffic Safety Services Association
The ATSSA PAC is a nonpartisan organization formed to support federal candidates
who are committed to improving the nation’s
roadway safety infrastructure.
Why Does ATSSA Have a PAC?
ATSSA established a PAC to enable members of our
industry to pool their financial resources and help
elect lawmakers who support roadway safety issues.
How Does ATSSA PAC Work?
The ATSSA PAC solicits voluntary contributions
from ATSSA’s members who qualify under the rules
developed by the Federal Election Commission.
Only personal contributions may be used to support
candidates; federal law prohibits ATSSA PAC from
using corporate contributions or ATSSA dues for candidate campaigns.

lawmakers
who support
roadway safety
issues.
Contribute to the
ATSSA PAC today!
Anyone can voluntarily contribute to the PAC.
There are strict rules on who may be solicited for a
donation. ATSSA may solicit its executive personnel, exempt personnel, non corporate members
and their families anytime it wants. ATSSA may
also solicit its corporate members’ executive and
administrative personnel, stockholders and their
families at any time provided it has gained prior
approval. Finally,
ATSSA may solicit
its non-executive
and non-administrative personnel
and their families
twice a year.
Who Decides How to Spend Funds?
An oversight committee made up of ATSSA members determines which candidates will receive
ATSSA PAC support. A candidate’s voting record
on industry issues, committee assignments, and
recommendations of ATSSA members are all
taken into consideration. Party affiliation is not a
consideration, as the ATSSA PAC is nonpartisan.
What Does Your Contribution Mean?
ATSSA has gained respect with key policymakers
on the national scene. The inclusion of our core
roadway safety program in the SAFETEA-LU law
is proof of this. Now we must defend this program, and to do that we need friends on Capitol
Hill. These are members of Congress who understand the importance of roadway safety. Your
contribution to the ATSSA PAC allows ATSSA to
show its support for representatives who have
demonstrated their support of issues important
to ATSSA and its members. Without your help,
ATTSA’s voice will not be heard! So please take a
moment to help your business, your industry, and
your future by contributing to ATSSA PAC today

“PAC” stands for Political Action Committee. Federal
legislation in the 1970’s established PACs as a campaign reform mechanism. PACs are strictly regulated
as to contribution limits and have extensive requirements. The ATSSA PAC is the federal political action

Association (ATSSA).
