Click It or Ticket Campaign: May 24-June 6, 2021

Click It or Ticket

The Croton-on-Hudson Police Department will be participating in the statewide "Click It or Ticket" mobilization from May 24th through June 6th, 2021. Buckle Up New York, Click It Or Ticket, is a statewide, zero-tolerance enforcement effort coordinated by the State Police, local agencies, Sheriff's Offices, and the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee to increase safety restraint use in New York State.

Officers will be conducting the campaign throughout the Village. This campaign is sponsored by the New York State Governor's Traffic Safety Committee.

New York State estimates that 94% of motorists in New York use their seat belts. While that is a high rate of compliance, the goal is 100%. 

As we approach the start of the mobilization, please be advised that the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law section regarding seat belt use was recently modified. The changes, which were effective November 1, 2020, are listed below:

  • All motor vehicle passengers aged 16 and older must be restrained by a seat belt.
  • Backseat passengers in a taxi or livery who are 16 years of age or older must be restrained by a seat belt.
  • All passengers in a taxi or livery who are 8-15 years of age must be restrained by a seat belt.
