With the beginning of summer being around the corner, millions of drivers will be hitting the Texas road for the holiday weekend.

That’s why the Texas Department of Transportation and Area Law Enforcement have teamed up again for the Annual Click It or Ticket campaign.

Last year, 982 people who were not buckled up died in crashes on Texas roadways, an increase of 6% from 2017.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Click It or Ticket initiative in Texas is estimated to have saved 5,856 lives, prevented more than 100,000 serious injuries and saved more than $21.7 billion in related economic costs from 2002 through 2018.
