Mission Statement

 The Animal Transportation Association is an organization with a worldwide membership of diverse participants.

We serve as a resource for those concerned with the humane handling and transportation of animals.

AATA initiates and encourages related organizations to develop "best practices"
for animal transport.

AATA's well established Animal Attendant Program for equine grooms provides for independent assessment of competency by the National Proficiency Tests Council (NPTC).  [Details]

AATA is now expanding this program to include attendants of zoological and domestic animals.   [Details]
