2022 TxDoT Click it or Ticket Initiative
The Austin Police Department (APD) has completed the annual Click it or Ticket Initiative, which focused on vehicle occupants not wearing a seat belt and unrestrained minors. The initiative took place from May 23 thru June 5.
During these dates, officers made proactive traffic stops focusing on safety and seatbelt usage within the community.
Texans can play a significant role in ending fatal crashes with a few simple driving habits:
- Wear seatbelts.
- Drive the speed limit.
- Put away the phone and other distractions.
- Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The Austin Police Department and the Texas Department of Transportation focus on preventing lives from being lost on Austin's streets, highways, and waterways. APD is dedicated to making the roadways and waterways of Austin safe for residents and visitors through education and enforcement.
