Bolingbrook Police Participate In Memorial Day Enforcement Campaign

BOLINGBROOK, IL — The Bolingbrook Police Department will step up enforcement for the Memorial Day “Click It or Ticket” campaign that will run May 19-30 and remind motorists to buckle up for safety, according to a news release from the department.

Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, a popular time for traveling to visit family and friends. Whether you are traveling down the block or across the country, make sure you buckle up every time, the department advised.

While Illinois currently has a 93 percent seat belt use compliance rate, unbelted occupants still account for more than half of those killed in motor vehicle crashes, according to the department.

The “Click It or Ticket” campaign is administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation with federal highway safety funds.
