The Education Fund has been a sponsor of TERC US for nearly a decade and continues to support this worthwhile organization that plays an integral part in our nation’s first response innovation.

The overall mission of the Transportation Emergency Rescue Committee USA (TERCUSA) is to serve as a competent source of guidance and information on transportation emergencies for those involved in providing emergency services.

The committee has goals, which include:
1. developing a three level system for vehicle extrication training;
2. developing guidelines to be met by vehicle extrication instructors;
3. developing suggested safety guidelines for training and extrication practices;
4. disseminating information about vehicle extrication through a newsletter or other means; and
5. developing a judge registration system for extrication judges.

Through these goals, the Transportation Emergency Rescue Committee USA will ensure the
enhancement of life saving techniques in the challenging field of automobile extrication.
