HARRISBURG – PennDOT and the PA State Police announced the National “Click It or Ticket” campaign, beginning today through Sunday, May 31. In 2025, there were 9,696 crashes in PA where at least one occupant was not wearing a seat belt, resulting in 259 fatalities and 733 suspected serious injuries. PA law requires drivers, front-seat passengers, and any occupant younger than 18 to buckle up when riding in a vehicle. Children under age 4 must be properly secured in an approved child safety seat. Children under age 2 must ride in a rear-facing car seat until they outgrow the maximum weight and height limits designated by the seat manufacturer. Booster seats are required for children ages 4 to 8. Throughout the campaign, PSP troopers certified as child passenger safety technicians are offering free child seat fitting events across PA helping ensure that car seats are in good working condition, installed properly, and free from recalls. A complete list of days and times can be found at psp.pa.gov.
