CAPS to study data from Click-It-Or-Ticket Campaign

By Alana Norris

Click-It-Or-Ticket is a national campaign designed to save lives by encouraging more people to wear seatbelts. This year’s enforcement campaign will run from May 22 through June 4. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has awarded more than $58,000 in grant money for traffic safety data to be collected and evaluated. The University of Alabama Center for Advanced Public Safety will use the grant money to fund research and evaluation of seatbelt and child-safety-seat use in Alabama.
