The Oklahoma Department of Transportation and Oklahoma Turnpike Authority are renewing their statewide “Never Skip the Click” campaign for a second year, encouraging Oklahomans to wear seat belts on every trip, in every seat.

The campaign runs throughout November, Oklahoma’s Seat Belt Month, and includes public events, community outreach, digital storytelling and partnerships with the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, Oklahoma Highway Safety Office, Oklahoma Highway Patrol and Service Oklahoma. The effort also coincides with National Seat Belt Day on Nov. 14.

Campaign messaging will focus on rural drivers, pickup occupants, young adults and men. Organizers also are encouraging passengers and family members to speak up when someone is not wearing a seat belt.

“Whether you are driving across town or around the block, clicking your seat belt should be as automatic as starting your vehicle,” said ODOT Interim Executive Director T.J. Dill. “A crash only takes seconds, and so does buckling up.”
