Who We Are
The purpose of the Idaho Seat Belt Coalition is to bring together individuals, organizations, companies, and government agencies interested in supporting the goal of 100% seat belt compliance through strong public education, and support for law enforcement. Coalition members will share information and ideas, get involved in public education and community outreach activities, and distribute and disseminate informational materials to their constituent groups. Coalition members will be given the opportunity to identify and contribute in-kind and cash investments to support Coalition activities.
Membership is open to all interested parties.
