With the approach of Memorial Day which signals the beginning of the summer travel season across America, state transportation and law enforcement agencies from Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming are coming together to remind travelers to wear their seatbelts.
Participating states will alert travelers on social media and digital highway signs. Wyoming’s current seat belt use rate is 82.5%, which is well below the national average of 90%. In 2019, there were 22 traffic fatalities involving an unbuckled non-resident driver or passenger from another state.
