# Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association PAC **Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association PAC (AVIA PAC)**, FEC committee **C00963629**, registered with the FEC on **2026-10-14** as a committee **connected to a trade association** — the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association. Unlike most of the committees tracked here, it is **not** an independent-expenditure vehicle: the Form 1 names a connected organisation of entity type `ORG`, which is the separate-segregated-fund structure used by corporate and trade-association PACs. ## What the Form 1 says Form 1, file **2021236**, `F1N`, received **2026-10-14T09:42:09 ET**. | Item | Detail | |---|---| | FEC committee ID | **C00963629** | | Address | **600 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington DC 20001** | | Connected organisation | **Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association**, same address, type `ORG` | | Treasurer | **Jeff Farrah** | | Custodian of records | **Renee Gibson**, same address | | Compliance contact | [email protected] — **Venable LLP** | | Website given | www.theavindustry.org | | Depository | Bank of America, Charlotte NC | | Money disclosed | **none** — a registration only | ## Why it is on file here **This site tracks every new committee formation during the midterm window**, and this one is the only filing on receipt date 2026-10-14 that attaches a **technology-sector trade association** to a new federal political committee. The timing is the notable part: a connected PAC registered **twenty days before a general election** cannot raise and spend meaningfully in this cycle, so the formation reads as positioning for the **next** Congress and for federal autonomous-vehicle rulemaking rather than for November 3. ⚠️ **Nothing about its membership, funding or policy positions is established from this document.** The association's own composition has not been read against a source by this vault. ## Watch - **Its first Schedule A** — a connected PAC's donors are its own executives and member companies, and that list is the reason to watch it. - **Whether it makes any 2026-cycle disbursement at all.** ## See Also - [[Corporate Power]] · [[Lobbying]] · [[Super PACs]] · [[Organizations Hub]]
