US EditionWashington and Idaho Launch 'Click It or Ticket' Campaign
- Several states including New Jersey, Texas, Tennessee, and Indiana launched the annual 'Click It or Ticket' campaigns in May 2025 to enforce seat belt use and improve road safety.
- These campaigns respond to rising concerns from recent data showing significant percentages of unrestrained fatalities, especially among young drivers, and a seasonal increase in crashes during summer travel periods.
- The initiatives include grant-funded patrols, seat belt checkpoints, and multi-agency cooperation targeting not only seat belt violations but also speeding, impaired driving, distracted driving, and Move Over law compliance.
- Authorities issued thousands of citations last year, for example, New Jersey agencies handed out 7,225 seat belt citations and Texas DPS issued over 601 in 2024, while Indiana reported a 93.6% seat belt compliance rate according to their latest survey.
- Officials stressed that consistent seat belt use remains vital to reducing fatalities, and that stepped-up enforcement and public awareness efforts aim to make buckling up an automatic habit during the busy summer travel season.
