Welcome
America’s advocate for the availability of clean, safe, well-designed public restrooms.
American Restroom Association’s (ARA) goal is nothing less than a full-scale toilet transformation in this country so that our public restrooms are no longer a laughingstock among the developed world. Only by working together and forming a strong advocacy group for decent public toilets are we going to be able to bring about the necessary changes in our public accommodations.
Read about our efforts in this article “Starbucks under pressure to keep restrooms open to public” from The Guardian featuring ARA President, Dr. Steven Soifer, Ph.D.
Listen to ARA Board Member Chad Kaufman, President of the Public Restroom Company, discuss restroom privacy on the inaugural “Really? No, Really?” podcast with Seinfeld star Jason Alexander.
