NHTSA to Promote Safer Car Campaign at ASA Booth

The Automotive Service Association (ASA) is pleased to announce the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will be promoting its Safer Car Campaign at ASA’s International Autobody Congress and Exposition (NACE) next week in Las Vegas. ASA has joined NHTSA in the Safer Car Campaign, which provides vehicle safety information to the motoring public. NHTSA’s mission is to save lives, prevent injuries and reduce economic costs due to road traffic crashes, through education, research, safety standards and enforcement activity.

The campaign’s Web site, www.safercar.gov, houses vehicle safety information and tests performed by NHTSA. You may also link to the Safer Car Campaign through ASA’s legislative Web site, www.TakingtheHill.com.

NHTSA will have a booth at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center Nov. 6-8 during the NACE Expo, and NHTSA representatives will also give special presentations at the ASA booth – N8609 – from 2 to 3 p.m., Thursday through Saturday. The presentations will be informational sessions on the Safer Car Campaign. NHTSA representatives will also participate in ASA’s press conference at 1 p.m., Friday, Nov. 7.
