Occupant Protection Committee

 

The Occupant Protection Committee develops programs to educate the public about staying safe and secure in vehicles. Wearing your seat belt on every trip, in every seat, is crucial and can reduce your risk of death by 50% if you are in a collision. The Occupant Protection Committee also focuses on child protection in vehicles, educating parents, grandparents, and other caregivers on properly using child safety seats.

Each year, the Occupant Protection Committee conducts two extensive public education campaigns: Get It Together (GIT) High School Seat Belt Challenge, and the Old, Used, Borrowed and Abused Child Safety Seat Round-Up.
