Click It or Ticket Safety Belt Enforcement Campaign
Monday, January 27, 2025 (All day) to Sunday, February 9, 2025 (All day)
Tualatin Police will be conducting a safety enforcement blitz starting January 27, 2025. The project will focus on proper seat belt and child passenger safety restraint use day and night.
Tualatin Police will join with police agencies nationwide for the annual, “Click it or ticket” campaign that runs from January 27th through February 9th. Oregon agencies will focus on educating drivers on the importance of wearing their safety belt properly each time they ride in a vehicle.
In 2022, 1,697 children under twelve were injured in Oregon traffic crashes, 16 percent were reported not using a child restraint system. Of the 25,420 passenger vehicle occupants killed in the United States in 2022, 50% were not wearing seat belts.
For safety belt systems, “proper use” means lap belt placed low across hips and shoulder belt crossing center of the chest over the collarbone. Belts should be free of slack and lying flat with no twists or knots. If the shoulder belt portion of the belt rides up onto the neck or feels uncomfortable, comfort may be increased by using the built-in adjuster or by moving seat position. The shoulder belt should NOT be placed under the arm or behind the back – this can cause serious internal injuries or ejection in a crash.
Oregon law enforcement agencies are committed to reducing traffic crash injuries and deaths by promoting safety belt use and encouraging other safe driving behaviors through active enforcement and education.
The safety enforcement campaign is a federally funded program administered by ODOT.
Nearly one hundred state, county and city police agencies are participating in overtime grants to be used primarily during joint, statewide enforcement saturations or, “blitzes” scheduled for February, May and August.
