Zero Excuses: Champaign County Sheriff’s Office starts “Click It or Ticket” Campaign for Memorial Day

Champaign County (IL) – The Champaign County Sheriff’s Office is joining law enforcement agencies across Illinois for
the 2026 “Click It or Ticket” campaign running May 15 - 26 during the Memorial Day travel period.

“Buckle up every trip, every time,” said Sheriff Heuerman. “Many of the fatalities from crashes the Sheriff’s Office
investigated last year may have been prevented with seat belt use. Seat belts save lives, and we are committed to
keeping our roads safe.”

Deputies will conduct high-visibility enforcement day and night, focusing on seat belt violations. Motorists who fail to
buckle up can expect to be stopped and ticketed. Today, when the price of everything seems to have gone up, there is
an easy way to save some money – BUCKLE UP!

Illinois law requires all drivers and passengers to wear seat belts. While usage has increased to 93% in 2025,
unrestrained fatalities remain a concern - especially at night.

The “Click It or Ticket” initiative is funded with federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of
Transportation. For more information on safe driving practices, visit ItsNotaGameIllinois.com.

Stop by this Saturday.
