What is ADTSEA

The American Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association (ADTSEA) is the professional association which represents traffic safety educators throughout the United States and abroad.

Members of the association include:

• State Supervisors of Safety Education
• University Professors
• Elementary and Secondary School Teachers
• Vocational Rehabilitation Specialists
• Commercial Driving School Teachers
• Police Traffic Safety Personnel
• Corporate Representatives

As a national advocate for quality traffic safety education, ADTSEA creates and publishes policies and guidelines for the discipline. ADTSEA conducts conferences, workshops and seminars and provides consultative services. The organization also develops educational materials.

ADTSEA has over 1,000 professional and corprorate members and is located at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Highway Safety Center, Indiana PA. The association provides its members with a national office which represents the interests of members by keeping track of legislation on safety matters and lobbying for legislation to support driver and safety education.

In 1970, ADTSEA took over the management of the National Studenty Safety Program (NSSP) from the National Education Associations Safety Commission (which was disbanded at that time) and has maintained this program ever since.
