NSP Launches Make It Click Campaign Ahead of Thanksgiving

November 21, 2024 (Lincoln, NEB.)  —  The holiday season is in full force. The Nebraska State Patrol is kicking off the holiday travel season with the Make It Click statewide campaign.

“With Thanksgiving comes travel from all corners of the state. Our goal is to make sure no one is missing from your table due to a fatal crash that could’ve been prevented by using a seat belt or child safety restraint,” said Colonel John Bolduc, “We want everyone to make it to their holiday gatherings as safely as possible.”

Troopers will be partnering with local law enforcement agencies across the state for the Make It Click effort. The campaign begins Saturday, November 23, and will run through Sunday, December 1, covering the week of Thanksgiving.

Troopers will be performing high-visibility patrols across the state to reduce fatal and serious crashes in Nebraska. During traffic stops, troopers will be looking for seat belt and child passenger restraint violations. Troopers will also be thanking motorists who are already wearing their seat belts.

Troopers and NSP dispatchers will be working overtime to provide additional coverage during the holiday. NSP’s portion of this campaign is made possible thanks in part to a grant from the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Highway Safety Office. NSP encourages any motorist who observes a dangerous driver can report it to the NSP Highway Helpline by calling *55.
