‘Click It or Ticket’ and ‘It’s Not a Game’ campaigns emphasize buckling up and safe driving
This past holiday season, Bridgeview Police officers teamed up with the Illinois Department of Transportation and law enforcement agencies statewide for the “Click It or Ticket” campaign. From Dec. 12 through Jan. 5, officers focused on ensuring that motorists were properly buckled.
From rural routes and small-town streets to busy suburban arterials and city expressways, the goal was the same: to prevent crashes and save lives.
The result? A safer holiday season with 29 citations for seat belt violations, as well as 7 citations for speeding, distracted driving and other traffic offenses.
The holiday enforcement campaign was administered by IDOT with federal highway safety funds managed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and is part of Illinois’ “It’s Not a Game” statewide media outreach program.
