Seat Belt Resources
In Minnesota traffic crashes are the leading cause of death through age 34 and the leading cause of workplace death. From 2006-2008 in Minnesota 1,096 vehicle occupants were killed in crashes; 518 were not wearing seat belts. The Department of Public Safety (DPS) estimates around half of those killed would have survived if they had buckled up. Join the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, the Minnesota Network of Employers for Traffic Safety, law enforcement agencies and other businesses throughout the state in the effort to prevent these human and economic losses. Participate in ongoing campaigns — a combination of enforcement and public awareness activities — with the goal of raising Minnesota’s seatbelt rate.
