WHAT'S NEW
Watch Your Wheels

In Pennsylvania, we can reduce the number of auto thefts by making sure our new drivers are informed about what they need to do to keep their cars safe.

We know that for teens, driving is a key to independence. So we're arming them with the knowledge to protect their cars—and their freedom. WatchYourWheels.org, our new educational tool, will help young drivers avoid becoming victims of auto theft.

WatchYourWheels.org is fun—part movie, part interactive car customizer, with a few quiz questions interspersed. Encourage teens to check it out, take the quiz and print their completion certificate. Don't be shy about taking it for a spin yourself—you can have fun brushing up on your auto theft prevention knowledge as well! (If you don't have a school or insurance code, use “guest.”)

What is the Authority ?
Established by the General Assembly (Act 171 of 1994), the Authority exists "to establish, coordinate, and fund activities in (Pennsylvania) to prevent, combat, and reduce automobile theft..."

Our goal is to combat auto theft through tough laws, improved enforcement and administration, effective prosecution, and public education

The Authority uses no tax dollars. Its funds are raised through annual assessments paid by nearly 400 auto insurance companies doing business in Pennsylvania. These funds facilitate a cooperative effort by the insurance industry, law enforcement agencies, and the citizens of the commonwealth.
