The Winneshiek County Sheriff's Department says seat belt usage showed a slight increase following the recent Thanksgiving holiday "Click It or Ticket" traffic initiative.
A survey of seat belt usage was conducted prior to the STEP campaign. It showed 95 percent of vehicle occupants in Winneshiek County were using their seatbelts. A second survey taken after the "Click It or Ticket" campaign showed seatbelt usage at 96.6 percent.
