‘Click It or Ticket’ saves lives
An estimated 6,972 lives have been saved on Texas roadways since the “Click It or Ticket” campaign launched in 2002. The campaign celebrates its 20th anniversary this year with a series of events across the state reminding every Texan to buckle up. Since its launch in 2002, the Texas Click It or Ticket initiative is estimated to have prevented 120,000 serious injuries, and saved $26.3 billion in related economic costs. Wearing a seat belt remains the single most effective way to protect yourself from serious injury or death in a crash. TxDOT’s annual “Click It or Ticket” campaign reminds everyone about the safety benefits of wearing a seat belt. Nov.7, 2000, was the last deathless day on Texas roadways. #EndTheStreakTX asks all Texans to commit to driving safely to help end the streak of daily deaths on Texas roadways.
