SB09-296 failed to make it through the legislature, but the bill that would have toughened seat belt laws still generated a lot of publicity on the issue. The State Publications Library has a number of resources available that address current seat belt laws as well as seat belt use among Coloradans. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment published a fact sheet, Safety Belt Use in Colorado, in 2006. Also, the Colorado Department of Transportation has issued a brochure on their Click It or Ticket campaign. Other CDOT resources on seat belt laws and usage include:
- Identification of Appropriate Investment Levels to Improve and Maintain Seat Belt Usage Rates in the State of Colorado
- Seat Belt Usage Survey, 1993 Final Report
- Traffic Safety Website
The Colorado State Patrol also has some information on seat belt use on their website. See these State Patrol links for information on seat belt laws and use:
