Driver and passenger safety |
 |
| The best way to
keep drivers and passengers safe is through the use of seat belts and
child safety seats. We've
implemented several projects to emphasize the importance of buckling up
every time you're in a moving vehicle. |
Child passenger
safety curriculum: Our Buckle
Up With Bucky materials offer teachers and parents an easy and fun way to
communicate with children about seat belt safety. We developed a
collection of materials that focus on the who, what, when, where and how
of seat belt safety. The materials include a video, storybook, CD and
growth chart. A presenter's guide is also available for those who want
to share the information with a group.

National
campaigns: We provide a local emphasis on national seat belt campaigns
such as "Click It or Ticket".

School seat belt
project: this project works with local junior and senior high schools
to place a semester-long focus on seat belt safety. We conduct
observational surveys to determine the percentage of students who buckle
up; then we try to increase that percentage through the use of education
and incentives. The photo at right shows signs we placed at Moorhead High
School. Work site seat belt
project: We work with local businesses to emphasize the
importance of seat belts to their employees . We use education and
incentives to increase the number of these adults who buckle up. (Learn
