UPCOMING TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT Click It or Ticket Seat Belt Safety Campaign Reminds Drivers: Buckle Up May 19 - June 1, and Every Day The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) & Coos Bay Police Department (CBPD) are urging drivers to buckle up ahead of a national Click It or Ticket seat belt safety campaign. The national high-visibility seat belt enforcement effort, which coincides with the Memorial Day holiday, runs May 19 to June 1, 2025. The national seat belt daytime use rate in 2023 was 91.9%, which is good — but it can be better. The other 8.1% 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. One of the focuses of the Click It or Ticket seat belt high-visibility campaign is night time enforcement. NHTSA data shows a higher number of unrestrained passenger vehicle occupant fatalities happen at night. Also, seat belt use differs among females and males. Of the males killed in crashes in 2023, more than half (53%) were unrestrained. For females killed in crashes, 41% were not buckled up.
