Yet in Oregon in 2016, crash data shows lack of a safety belt or a child re- straint system was a factor in 26 percent of the 343 motor vehicle occupant deaths — that’s 89 lives that might have been saved had they buckled up correctly. It’s a survival tip worth taking seriously. ODOT, law enforcement and safety advocates encour- age all users of the transpor- tation system to take person- al responsibility for being safe. Be sure to use child safety seats correctly (see your manufacturer’s guide- book, or visit a safety seat check station.). Buckle up day and night, no matter what vehicle you’re in or where you’re going. Don’t drive impaired and put the distractions away when you are behind the wheel, on your bicycle or walking in a busy area. Extra law enforcement, funded by a grant from ODOT’s Transportation Safety Division, will be on the lookout to assure motor- ists and their passengers are traveling as safely as possible through June. å Funeral & Memorial Planning e Funeral & Memorial Planning e Cremation Options e Cremation Options e Monuments & Memorials & e Memorials Cemetery Options e Monuments Cemetery Options 'Click It or Ticket' highway safety campaign continues through June Law enforcement across Oregon will be reminding motorists and their pas- sengers about Oregon laws during a campaign that fo- cuses on using the right safe- ty child safety restraints.
