Welcome

A Message from the Executive Director

Welcome to the official website of the Traffic Improvement Association of Michigan (TIA)!

Headquartered in the City of Auburn Hills, TIA is a non-profit traffic safety corporation that is incorporated under the laws of the State of Michigan.

The mission of TIA is to identify traffic safety trends that negatively impact society, and develop solutions that can be implemented to save lives, reduce injuries, and improve mobility in Michigan.

TIA was created in 1967 by a committee of more than 200 public officials and business leaders.  At that time, Oakland County had a traffic fatality rate that was worse than the state and national rates.

Today, Oakland County roads are now among the safest in the world.  This is the direct result of a strong partnership between TIA, the Road Commission for Oakland County, law enforcement, and member communities.

Although we have made many significant accomplishments, there is still much work to be done.  According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for people of every age from 3 through 34 (based on 2006 data).  In fact, we lose the equivalent of a fully loaded 737-200 passenger jet due to traffic crashes every day in the United States.

Overall, TIA will remain a leader and partner in promoting traffic safety through a cooperative effort between businesses, citizens, educators, government officials, public safety representatives, and other traffic safety advocates.

As you search through our website, please let us know if we can make any changes to better serve you.

Thank you for your interest in traffic safety, and we look forward to hopefully working with you soon!


Respectfully,

Jim
