State law enforcement agencies and state transportation departments from Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Nebraska, Utah, and Wyoming are partnering to remind travelers to buckle up. The State2State Buckle up campaign want travelers to stay buckled no matter what state they are in or how far they are going.
The summer-long campaign launches alongside the start of the national Click it or Ticket seat belt enforcement campaign, which started on Friday, May 21 and continues through Monday, May 31.
The current seat belt use rate is 85% in Kansas, which is below the national average of 90%. The Kansas Highway Patrol encourages all drivers and passengers to buckle up.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, seat belts reduce the risk of injury or death in a crash by 50%.
