• Abstract:
  This Research Note briefly summarizes seat belt use in 2024. The national estimate of seat belt use by adult front-seat passengers of passenger vehicles in 2024 was 91.2 percent, nearly the same as the 91.9 percent observed in 2023. The seat belt use rate estimate represents the percentage of occupants who are belted during an average daylight moment. These results are from the National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS), the only survey that provides nationwide probability-based observed data on seat belt use in the United States. The NOPUS is conducted annually by NHTSA’s National Center for Statistics and Analysis.
