Buckle Up PA “Click It Or Ticket” Action Plan Enforced Through June 7

A Buckle Up PA ‘Click It or Ticket’ action plan was announced this week with enforcement running from May 18 through June 7, 2020.

According to a press release, the mobilization will focus 50% of their enforcement funding on seat belt enforcement on unbelted crash roadways. Buckle Up PA (BUPA) will fund up to 350 LEAs for the 3-week mobilization. The plan is designed to increase Pennsylvania’s seat belt usage rate by optimizing the use of grant funds, focus enforcement and to increase the number of OP citations issued.

The BUPA “Click It or Ticket” Action Plan for the 2020 Seat Belt Mobilization utilizes a combination of enforcement, earned media, awareness and education.

Planned enforcement activities include Traffic Enforcement Zones (TEZ) and Roving Patrols targeting drivers and roadways with high incidents of unbelted crashes.

Ellwood City Police Department is one of the Law Enforcement Agencies participating in this enforcement detail.
