Buckle up! The annual statewide Click It or Ticket campaign begins Sunday, May 18.
Merriam police officers will write you a ticket if they see you or any passenger in your vehicle not wearing a seatbelt.
Sponsored by the Kansas Department of Transportation, the goal is to reduce the number of preventable deaths and injuries involved in traffic crashes. KDOT said your risk of a fatal injury during a crash is cut in half if you’re properly buckled.
The two-week campaign ends Sunday, June 1.
