Founded by Ralph Nader and Consumers Union in 1970, The Center for Auto Safety is the nation's leading independent non-profit organization providing consumers a voice for auto safety, quality, and fuel economy. For over forty five years, the Center has pushed for the accountability of automobile manufacturers, openness in the rule-making and regulatory process, and public attention to safety issues that affect us all. The Center for Auto Safety is a membership-driven organization and is home to the Safe Climate Campaign, which fights global warming by working for big, specific measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including slashing auto emissions and cutting the nation's oil use in half. The Center is also the publisher of The Car Book, which since 1980 has been America's most comprehensive car buying guide.
