About Us

Safe roads are not only critical to personal and community welfare, but to economic growth and well-being.  One day of snow-covered roads can cost a state hundreds of millions of dollars in lost productivity, affecting nearly all industries—from agriculture, retail and healthcare to hosting, logistics and construction.

The association is funded by membership dues and donations.
