Click It or Ticket Safety Belt Enforcement Campaign

Monday, May 18, 2026 (All day) to Sunday, May 31, 2026 (All day)


Click It or Ticket

Tualatin Police will be conducting a safety enforcement blitz starting May 18, 2026. The project will focus on proper seat belt and child passenger safety restraint use day and night. 

Tualatin Police will join with police agencies nationwide for the annual, “Click it or ticket” campaign that runs from May 18th through May 31st. Oregon agencies will focus on educating drivers on the importance of wearing their safety belt properly each time they ride in a vehicle.

The national seat belt use rate in 2024 was 91.2%. The Click It or Ticket seat belt safety campaign is focusing on the remaining 8.8% who still don’t buckle up. Thousands of lives could be saved each year if every person was properly restrained on the road.

For safety belt systems, “proper use” means lap belt placed low across hips and shoulder belt crossing center of the chest over the collarbone. Belts should be free of slack and lying flat with no twists or knots. If the shoulder belt portion of the belt rides up onto the neck or feels uncomfortable, comfort may be increased by using the built-in adjuster or by moving seat position. The shoulder belt should NOT be placed under the arm or behind the back – this can cause serious internal injuries or ejection in a crash. 

Oregon law enforcement agencies are committed to reducing traffic crash injuries and deaths by promoting safety belt use and encouraging other safe driving behaviors through active enforcement and education.

The safety enforcement campaign is a federally funded program administered by ODOT.

Nearly one hundred state, county and city police agencies are participating in overtime grants to be used primarily during joint, statewide enforcement saturations.
