2023 Safety Belt Usage Survey in Kentucky

The use of safety belts is a proven means of reducing injuries to motor vehicle occupants involved in traffic crashes. Promoting and supporting safety belt usage is a top priority for transportation safety officials across the country. For years, there have been various methods used in efforts to increase safety belt usage. Past efforts have included public information campaigns, local and statewide legislation, and enforcement of the legislation.

This study involved collecting and evaluating data from across the state to establish the safety belt usage rate in Kentucky for 2023. The effort supports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) seat belt safety initiatives.
