National Seatbelt Campaign Is Underway

(Undated) — Drivers can expect an increased police presence on Iowa’s roads during a national seatbelt campaign.

From now through June 2nd, law enforcement across Iowa is partnering with the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau to support the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Click It, Don’t Risk It effort. The effort focuses on the consequences of not wearing a seatbelt.

In 2023, nearly half of traffic fatalities in Iowa were unbuckled.
