(KAIR)--Travelers during the extended Memorial Day weekend are reminded to Click It or Ticket, with a heavy showing of law enforcement at work on local area roadways.

According to a release from the Kansas Department of Transportation, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Safety Administration’s high-visibility enforcement effort is underway now through June 5.

According to NHTSA, there were 10,893 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes in the United States in 2020.. In that same year, 51% of passenger vehicle occupants killed at night were not wearing their seat belts, which is why one focus of the Click It or Ticket campaign is nighttime enforcement.
