Buckle Up Everytime

Although observed safety belt use in Montana nears 80 percent, if between 87 and 94 percent of Montanans used seatbelts, it is estimated that an additional 20-30 lives would be saved each year.  That number increases to 75 additional lives if seatbelt use were 100 percent. It's simple. Increased seatbelt use results in fewer injuries and deaths.

Buckle Up Coalitions raise public awareness through their Buckle Up messaging and community presentations as to the social, medical, economic and very human toll of not using vehicle safety restraints.

Coalitions don't segregate the messages of proper use of seatbelts and child restraints. Our message is inclusive in that no one in a motor vehicle is safe unless everyone is buckled up.
