‘Click It or Ticket’ Focused on Seatbelt Use During Memorial Day Holiday

State, county and local law officers are running a special traffic enforcement effort through the rest of this month. State Trooper Paul Gardner says this is a “Click It or Ticket” program targeting seatbelt use.

Gardner says we are getting into the start of the summer driving season, and that’s when traffic accidents can increase.

Gardner says they want people to enjoy the summertime responsibly.

Iowa DOT data shows there have been 101 fatal crashes on Iowa roadways, which is 18 more than last year. The Click It or Ticket campaign runs through the Memorial Day weekend until May 31st.
