Police in 40 Michigan Counties Push Seatbelt Safety Campaign
Law enforcement officials in 40 Michigan counties are stepping up enforcement of seatbelt regulations.
The effort through the Memorial Day travel weekend effort involves local police, sheriff’s offices and state police. Federal traffic safety funds support the campaign.
The goal is to increase seat belt use to reduce traffic deaths and injuries. Last year, the state’s seatbelt use rate was 93 percent, down from a high of 97.9 percent in 2009. Officials say that they want to help get seat belt use up to the 98 percent level.
