Click It or Ticket program begins next week
CALCUTTA — The St. Clair Township Police Department will be joining the state-wide “Click It or Ticket” initiative which begins next Monday and lasts until the end of the month.
The main goal of the of the program is to increase seat belt usage and reduce highway fatalities. A new initiative, targeting motorists at night, will be a main focus this year.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2006, 15,046 passenger vehicle occupants died in traffic crashes that happened between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. Of those killed, 64 percent of those fatalities involved a lack of seat belt use.
“Research shows us that there is a problem with drivers and passengers not buckling up at night — when the risk of a fatal crash is greatest,” St. Clair Police Chief Donald Hyatt said.
The St. Clair police force will target the areas of Dresden Avenue, state Route 170, Calcutta-Smith Ferry Road and Saint Clair Avenue.
