'Buckle Up New York, Click it or Ticket' Campaign Runs Through June 6th

The Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC) joined with law enforcement recently to announce the kickoff of the annual “Buckle Up New York, Click it or Ticket” campaign.

This education and enforcement mobilization runs from May 24 to June 6 to promote seat belt use as the spring travel season ramps up. 

New York State Police and local law enforcement agencies will also use marked and unmarked vehicles, checkpoints, and roving details to ticket unbelted drivers during the campaign.

Fun Fact: In 1984, New York was the first state in the nation to pass legislation requiring drivers and front-seat passengers to use seat belts. Plus, as of Nov. 1, 2020, everyone in passenger vehicles, regardless of where they sit, needs to wear a seat belt or be properly restrained in a child safety seat. In New York, police can lawfully ticket motorists for not wearing a seat belt even if they are not committing any other traffic infractions.

Buckle up and stay safe!
