Government Advocacy

ATD’s success lies with its powerful grassroots lobbying efforts, which are most effective when local dealers meet with their members of Congress to advocate on behalf of all dealers and their customers.

This team effort involving ATD, state and metro dealer associations and ATD’s dealer members strengthens ATD’s ability to advocate on behalf of local dealerships everywhere and target engagement to dealer-specific issues. 

NADA PAC, one of the largest and most active political action committees of any trade association, represents the interests of all franchised new-car and -truck dealers by supporting pro-dealer candidates of both political parties. 

While ATD works hard in Washington on behalf of local dealerships, it coordinates efforts with state and metro dealer associations through the Automotive Trade Association Executives (ATAE).

Improving Manufacturer Relations

ATD is the dealer’s best advocate in dealer-manufacturer relations, addressing concerns with manufacturers and distributors.

Twice each year, ATD delivers the results of its semiannual Dealer Attitude Survey to each manufacturer to discuss the positives and negatives of manufacturer performance and initiatives, including incentive programs.

Key economic reports, including NADA Data and ATD Data (annual financial profiles of new-car and -truck dealerships), an annual ATD economic forecast, quarterly economic briefings and the Dealership Workforce Study, place ATD at the forefront of industry information.

Regulatory Compliance

As an ATD member, you’ll be able to browse regulatory topics, compliance-oriented guides, updates, and other reference materials to help your dealership departments thrive.

NADA Foundation

The NADA Foundation—begun in 1975—promotes initiatives sponsored by franchised dealers.

The Ambassador Program distributes hundreds of thousands of dollars each year in grants to local charities. The Emergency Relief Program has distributed millions of dollars to dealership employees and their families affected by disasters, including hurricanes, major storms and floods. The Workforce Initiative promotes the benefits of dealership jobs in local communities—with a particular focus on service technician jobs.

ATD-endorsed life insurance programs are available exclusively to dealer members from New York Life.
