West Virginia’s Highway Safety Program is working statewide to encourage drivers to buckle up during the Click It or Ticket campaign that will run October 6-22. The initiative will run in conjunction with this year’s National Highway Transportation Safety Administration’s Operation Crash Reduction that will be conducted over Columbus Day weekend in Region 3 which includes West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.  For the past decade, October has been the most dangerous month for fatalities in the Mountain State with 309 traffic deaths reported.
