State, county and local law officers are running a special traffic enforcement effort through the rest of this month. State Troop Paul Gardner says this is a “Click It or Ticket” program targeting seatbelt use.
Gardner says we are getting into the start of the summer driving season, and that’s when traffic accidents can increase.
Gardner says they want people to enjoy the summertime responsibly.
