Kalamazoo County Sheriff Fuller responds to lower seatbelt use rates By Will Kriss
Jul 21, 2021 | 7:18 PM
KALAMAZOO COUNTY, MI (WKZO AM/FM) â Tuesday, the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning (OHSP) shared data from a study by Michigan State University, which indicated seatbelt usage is on the decline.
The data suggests that seatbelt usage decreased from 94.4 percent in 2019 to 92.6 percent in 2021.
Officials say this is the stateâs lowest seat belt compliance rate since 2004, and traffic safety advocates are concerned.
On Wednesday, Kalamazoo County Sheriff Richard Fuller spoke with WKZO on these numbers.
âIt is not a good thing, in fact weâve seen some very serious accidents that have led to fatalities in this area alone, just in the last month, and it was partly due to the fact that the persons were not wearing safety belts,â Fuller said.
Selt Belt Numbers Down
The National Strategy on Highway Safety is blowing the whistle on seat belt use in Michigan. According to a press release on Tuesday, the numbers for seat belt compliance in Michigan are at their lowest point in the last 17 years.
According to results from a grant-funded direct observation study, conducted by Michigan State University, Michigan seat belt use has decreased from 94.4 percent in 2019 to 92.6 percent in 2021. This marks the lowest seat belt compliance rate since 2004.
“The seat belt use numbers are moving in the wrong direction, and it’s important to turn things around as quickly as possible,” said Michael L. Prince, director of the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning (OHSP). “Seat belts are the cornerstone of any effective traffic safety strategy. We must continually remind drivers and passengers of all ages to buckle up, every trip, every time.”
