2008-2009 DCTMA High School Seat Belt Challenge
The DCTMA works to promote safe travel habits. It is believed that these habits need to be instilled at a young age, so the DCTMA is focusing its efforts on promoting the use of seat belts among high school students.
According to the US Department of Transportation:
- Teens have the highest fatality rate in motor vehicle crashes than any other age group.
- One key reason for high traffic fatalities among this age group is that they have lower safety belt use rates than adults.
- Because teens have an increased exposure to potentially fatal traffic crashes, it is imperative that efforts to increase safety belt use among this age group be given the highest priority.
