The Safe Riders! Snowmobile Safety Awareness Program has been produced by the International Association of Snowmobile Administrators (IASA) in partnership with the American Council of Snowmobile Associations (ACSA) to further awareness of safe snowmobiling practices. This program was developed with financial assistance from the Recreational Trails Program administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation – Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and support from the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association (ISMA).


Who is the IASA?
The International Association of Snowmobile Administrators (IASA), is a self-organized group that originated in 1974 to facilitate communications among state, provincial and federal government administrators to promote sound management of recreational snowmobiling throughout North America, including but not limited to, snowmobile safety; uniformity of laws, rules and regulations; international, federal, state, provincial and territorial cooperation and coordination in snowmobiling concerns; enforcement of existing laws, rules and regulations; promoting harmonious relationships with environment/wildlife; and collection, development and dissemination of information and views on any subject within the purview of the organization. The IASA meets annually, in conjunction with the International Snowmobile Congress (ISC).

Who is the ACSA?
The American Council of Snowmobile Associations (ACSA) is a national organization that was formed in 1995 to unite the snowmobile community. Its membership includes 25 state snowmobile associations who represent over 1000 local snowmobile clubs across the country. Because snowmobiling is enjoyed by millions of individuals across the United States, it is imperative that a strong national organization exists to represent snowmobilers.

ACSA is the voice for snowmobiling on national issues. Many snowmobilers are mistaken when they think national issues have no impact on their sport. Across the United States, there are thousands of miles of snowmobile trails on public and private lands. Will these lands remain open for snowmobiling in the future? Long-term use of the lands is no longer certain. Only the unified voice of the entire snowmobile community will help to guarantee the continuation of our sport.

ACSA is committed to the future preservation of snowmobiling.
