Buckle Up for a Successful Season.

Monday, May 1, 2006

Categories: Miscellaneous

The Ohio State Highway Patrol has developed a partnership with the Ohio High School Athletic Association. This partnership resulted in a program called "Buckle Up for a Successful Season."

Buckle Up for a Successful Season is a community-level traffic safety effort that includes all Ohio State Highway Patrol Posts, and nearly every one of the Ohio High School Athletic Association's 833 member high schools. The program strongly emphasizes the fact that motor vehicle crashes involving Ohio teens are preventable. Far too many fatal and serious injury crashes are occurring on Ohio roadways, and many of these crashes involve inexperienced teen drivers.

The goal of Buckle Up for a Successful Season is to promote a safer highway environment by reminding and encouraging student-athletes, coaches, cheerleaders, band members, and fans to buckle up when going to school, practices, games * everywhere, every time.

Buckle Up for a Successful Season is important because young people are most at risk of not buckling up. In 2003, nearly 69 percent of the 201 16- to 20-year-olds killed in crashes in Ohio were not wearing a safety belt.

We feel this program has been very successful and may contain at the very least, valuable information on establishing a far-reaching partnership with an entity that allows instant access to young people.
