Click It or Ticket is a Na-
tional Event! Thank you
for being part of the mes-
sage to Buckle Up.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

supports the annual Click It or Ticket law enforcement mobilization, bringing together the

power of 10,000 agencies across the nation to crack down on seat belt use laws. The cam-

paign is targeted to all drivers, but especially the hard-to-reach males ages 18-34 who re-

search shows are far less likely to wear seat belts.

Click It or Ticket is a multi-pronged campaign that combines on street enforcement with a
national media buy campaign that airs across TV, radio, internet, and social media to con-
vey the message that officers are out enforcing seat belt laws. The ads, which will air in
English and Spanish, generate awareness of stepped-up enforcement of seat belt laws and
the increased chance of getting a ticket if you’re not buckled up.

The National Law Enforcement Liaison Program (NLELP) was
created by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) and the Governors Highway Safety Association
(GHSA), funded by NHTSA under a cooperative agreement.The
purpose of the program is to enhance communications between
LELs, ensure greater coordination of LEL activities nationwide, cre-
ate and support LEL training and guidance workshops to increase
the knowledge and skills of LELs and provide technical assistance.
The NLELP is designed to strengthen the work of a proven net-
work of highway safety professionals with enhanced communica-
tions tools, updated training, sharing of best practices, exchanging
information on new research, policies, and programs, and highlight-
ing successes.
