Click It or Ticket Campaign Starts Today

The Click It or Ticket campaign is launching today. Oregon motorists will see an increase in safety patrols focusing on safety belt use and child safety seat use. This campaign runs from May 23 through June 5, and will focus on education and enforcement of the seatbelt law that has been in affect in Oregon since 1990. Law enforcement agencies throughout Oregon will use federally funded overtime to educate the public about safety belt and child seat laws.

ODOT crash data for 2020 shows lack of safety belt or child restraint use was a factor in 32% of a total 311 vehicle occupant fatalities. Of the 22,215 passenger vehicle occupants killed in the US in 2019, 47% were NOT wearing seat belts.

Don't forget to buckle up and to properly use child safety seats!
