The Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) is partnering with Iowa law enforcement agencies for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) “Click It. Don’t Risk It.” Campaign. This is a high-visibility seat belt enforcement effort centered around the Memorial Day holiday and will end on June 1.
According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, there have been 88 traffic fatalities in the state so far this year. At least 29 of those people were not wearing seatbelts.
Law Enforcement will do a similar high-visibility enforcement campaign in November with its “Click It or Ticket” campaign for the Thanksgiving weekend.
