About AAA

Connecticut Motor Club

The Connecticut Motor Club was founded in 1908 by 50 charter members to promote improved road construction and to lobby for equitable automobile-related legislation.

Today, the Connecticut Motor Club is over 500,000 members  strong and is affiliated with the AAA.  As the world's largest and oldest motor club, serving over 50 million members nationwide and in Canada, AAA sets the standards for quality in the travel industry.

AAA's Historical Road

Almost immediately after the first horseless carriages appeared on America's roads, motorists began organizing automobile clubs. In 1902, only 23,000 cars were in operation in this country compared with 17 million horses. Yet, some 50 small auto clubs had been formed by motoring enthusiasts across the country.

Nine clubs soon joined together to create a national motoring organization and, at a March 4, 1902, Chicago meeting, founded the American Automobile Association.

Nearly 100 years have passed, but from its inception, AAA has dedicated itself to the future of vehicle motor transportation through support of adequate highways and elimination of burdensome taxes and restrictions. Read more ...

AAA & the Environment

But we also recognize the need to balance environmental concerns with the public's cherished right to travel and their right to a safe, efficient and flexible transportation system that meets their needs.
