Rush Township Police Department to Participate in Teen Seat Belt Enforcement

On Friday, the Rush Township Police Department announced seat belt enforcement activities as part of a statewide Teen Seat Belt Enforcement Mobilization, from October 22 through November 3 to complement National Teen Driver Safety Week.

The enforcement activities will be conducted at Marian Catholic High School, on State Routes 54 and 309, and other roadways in Rush Township.

The enforcement, coupled with educational outreach efforts, aims to increase Teen Seat Belt use and raise awareness of the state’s primary law stating all vehicle occupants under 18 years old must wear a seat belt. Drivers and front-seat passengers over 18 years old who are cited for another traffic violation will receive a second ticket if they’re unbuckled.
