TxDOT Hosts Click It or Ticket Event to Remind Drivers and Passengers to Buckle Up
More than 60 unbuckled drivers and passengers were killed or seriously injured on Panhandle roads in 2023
| WHEN: | Tuesday, May 21, 2024 at 10 a.m. |
| WHERE: | Travel Information Center
9700 East I-40 Amarillo, TX 79118

| MEDIA: | TxDOT seeks to raise awareness about wearing seat belts on Texas roadways |
AMARILLO – In the time it takes to read this sentence, Texans can click their seat belt and save themselves from an early grave — and save their loved ones from the sorrow of preventable loss. To raise awareness, TxDOT will host it’s Click It or Ticket event at the Travel Information Center on Tuesday, May 21 at 10 a.m.
Representatives from the Amarillo Police Department, Potter County Sheriff’s Office, Department of Public Safety and other agencies will join TxDOT to speak about the impact of not wearing your seat belt. *In 2023, there were 62 motor vehicle traffic crashes in the Amarillo District in which unrestrained occupants sustained fatal or serious injuries; these crashes resulted in 21 fatalities and 45 serious injuries. Statewide, there were 1,183 traffic fatalities in which vehicle occupants failed to wear a seatbelt.
In addition to conducting educational outreach, the campaign partners with Texas law enforcement around the state to step up enforcement of seat belt and car seat laws from May 20 through June 2, including Memorial Day weekend. Texas law requires everyone in a vehicle to buckle up or face fines and court costs up to $200. Children younger than 8 years old must be in a child safety seat or booster seat unless they’re taller than 4 feet 9 inches. If they aren’t properly restrained, the driver faces fines up to $250 plus court costs. TxDOT offers free safety seat inspections across the state.
Since Click It or Ticket was launched in Texas in 2002, the seat belt use rate has increased from 76% to more than 90%. Now, 9 of every 10 Texas motorists buckle up. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that the Click It or Ticket initiative has saved more than 7,800 lives, prevented 139,000 serious injuries, and resulted in $40 billion in economic savings since its inception in 2002.
TxDOT’s Click It or Ticket campaign is a key component of #EndTheStreakTX, a broader social media and word-of-mouth effort that encourages drivers to make safer choices while behind the wheel to help end the streak of daily deaths. Nov. 7, 2000, was the last deathless day on Texas roadways.

We would love to see you and your team at the car wash! Our kids have been working hard to raise money for our buses and they would love your support! Thank you for all that you do for our community!
PRESS RELEASE
“Why can’t we help? Why can’t we raise our own money to fix the buses?” – Maverick kids that overhead staff strategizing solutions for much needed bus repairs.
Teens at Maverick Boys & Girls Club of Amarillo Host Car Wash to Raise Funds for Bus Repairs!
WHO: Maverick Boys & Girls Club of Amarillo
WHAT: Carwash and Lemonade Stand
WHEN: Friday, July 12th
TIME: 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM
WHERE: Burger King 1800 S. Georgia St. Amarillo, TX 79109
CONTACT: Ashley Howard, ashleyh@maverickclub.org, (918) 801-6608
The teens of the Maverick Boys & Girls Club of Amarillo are rolling up their sleeves and putting on a carwash to raise much-needed funds for bus repairs. The event will take place on Friday, July 12, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM at the Burger King located on Georgia Street. Alongside the carwash, the teens will also be running a lemonade stand to refresh those who stop by to support this crucial cause.
“The idea came from the kids! Back when we had a bus breakdown in the school year, United Way was gracious to pay half of that bill with emergency funds. We were trying to think of ways to raise the other half of the bill, which is a little over $4,000. The kids said we can have a car wash! Why can’t we raise our own money?”, said Donna Soria, CEO. “They have been planning since before summer.”
The teens are enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to their community and help ensure the continuity of the Club’s services. By washing cars and selling lemonade, they aim to raise the necessary funds to get the buses back in working order. “We hope the community will come out to support us,” said Kai, a teen member of the Club. “Every car washed, and every cup of lemonade sold brings us one step closer to fixing our buses.”
The Maverick Boys & Girls Club relies heavily on its buses for various essential activities, including field trips and transporting children from schools to the main Dykeman Site. Unfortunately, these buses are currently in desperate need of repairs, risking our ability to serve the kids in Amarillo who need us most. “Our buses are a lifeline for the children we serve,” said Donna Soria, CEO/Executive Director of the Maverick Boys & Girls Club of Amarillo. “Without them, we would struggle to provide safe and reliable transportation for our kids, which is why this carwash is so important.”
The Maverick Boys & Girls Club of Amarillo invites all community members to join them at Burger King on Georgia Street this Friday. Your support will help guarantee that the children of Amarillo have the transportation they need to access the enriching programs and activities offered by the Club. Together, we can make a difference and keep our buses running smoothly for the kids who depend on them.
