The Arizona Trucking Association Foundation (ATAF) was founded as a 501(c)(3) non-profit to operate exclusively for charitable, educational, research, environmental and/or scientific purposes. ATAF is a subsidiary of the Arizona Trucking Association.
ATAF promotes and advances highway safety and a safe trucking industry through research, education, and promotional projects. ATAF fosters educational opportunities for individuals in the transportation industry in part through the awarding of scholarships; prepares and conducts educational activities and media programs about safety; and helps develop a better understanding of the transportation and trucking industry.
Within the transportation industry, ATAF is one of only a handful of non-profits whose mission is focused on the research and public education necessary to promote a safe, economic, environmentally sound system of moving goods and providing related services.
