Canadian Automobile Association
The Canadian Automobile Association is the voice of Canada's motoring
and traveling public. With its beginnings in 1913, the Canadian Automobile
Association ushered in the modern motoring world for Canada. With an ever-growing
base of members, this automobile association of Canada is responsive to
the changing needs and requirements of the modern motorist. With an affiliation
to the American Automobile Association, the CAA (Canadian Automobile Association)
offers quality products and services to its members. Today the Canadian
Automobile Association is a federation of automobile clubs in Canada.
Lower automobile insurance rates for motorists in Ontario will be approved
by mid July, thereby heaping rewards on drivers. There have been increasing
attacks on the Government regarding the delay in premium cuts. The Liberals
had promised to deliver cuts in auto insurance rates within a time span
of 3 months on taking office. Complex rate filings by auto insurance companies
are seen as the cause for this delay. The Canadian Automobile Association
has remarked on the increasing costs due to the delay. With an annual
premium ranging around $7 billion, the proposed 10% reduction is estimated
to put about $700 million back to the driver's pockets.
California State Automobile Association
In the early part of the twentieth century, automobile club enthusiasts
of San Francisco formed an automobile club to help motor owners with respect
to greater comfort and convenience and safety. This automobile club went
on to become the California State Automobile Association (CSAA). This
association with its affiliation to the AAA serves nearly 4 million members
in Northern California, Nevada and Utah.
The automobile association of California communicates with community leaders, state legislators and
members of Congress to initiate legislation to improve the transportation
and automobile sector. The Clean Air Act and the back transportation policy
were actively supported by the California State Automobile Association
to aid decongestion and encourage public transportation and alternatives
to private cars. Recycling of used automotive batters and reduction in
auto emission were also on the agenda of the Association of Automobiles
in California so as to protect the environment
Automobile club of southern California
The Automobile Club of southern California (ACSC) along with the CSAA
has been taking active interest and initiative in northern and central
California since the past many decades. These clubs provided the motoring
community in California with advice and leadership. The automobile club
of southern California has proposed to discontinue the practice of democratic
election of leaders in the auto club. This is on account of several instances
of 'contested elections' that has been occurring since a few years.
