Seat belt survey shows more Minnesotans are buckling up

Think back to the last time you were in a car. Did you buckle up before you left? If you're like most Minnesotans, the answer is yes. The percentage of people buckling up reached a near all-time high of 94.7 percent this year when comparing observational data from 2010 through 2024.

Overall, more people are buckling up on Minnesota roads, according to an annual seat belt survey funded by our Office of Traffic Safety division.
