Seat Belt Campaign
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is urging drivers to buckle up as part of the ongoing “Click It or Ticket” seat belt safety campaign.
Area state, county and city law enforcement officers will be participating in the national high-visibility “Click-it-or-Ticket” seat belt enforcement effort, which runs now through May 31st.
In 2024, there were 9,758 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes. The national seat belt use rate in 2024 was 91.2%. Officials say the other 8.8% still need to be reminded that seat belts save lives.
Participating law enforcement agencies will be taking a no-excuses approach to seat belt law enforcement, writing citations day and night during the campaign.
One of the focuses of the campaign is nighttime enforcement. Safety data shows that 56% of unrestrained occupant fatalities happen between the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.
For more information on the “Click It or Ticket” seat belt high-visibility enforcement campaign, please visit NHTSA.gov/ClickIt.
