Abstract:On December 28, 1996 President Clinton asked all Americans to always wear seat belts, and to always keep children ages 12 and under buckled in the back seat where they are safest. On January 23, 1997, he directed the Secretary of Transportation to prepare a plan to increase the use of seat belts nationwide. The President directed that the plan address: 1) state laws that require the use of seat belts; 2) assistance from the Department of Transportation to improve these state laws; and 3) a comprehensive education campaign by the public and private sectors to help the public understand the need to wear seat belts. This publication presents the plan based on the advice of Congress, the states, the private sector (including automobile manufacturers and insurers), and many other groups.
