Over 100 police officers from across New Jersey join state, county, and local officials in Seaside Heights to kick off the '101 Safe Days of Summer' initiative.
The program, which runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, focuses on driver inattention, drowsy and distracted driving, drunk drivers, and pedestrian safety.
State Motor Vehicle Commission Chief Administrator Sharon Harrington says New Jersey has 5.5 million licensed drivers, that along with out of state visitors, create lots of traffic heading to the Jersey Shore.
Harrington says they are getting the message out statewide with their 'Click It or Ticket' campaign through the use of billboards, posters, and even movie advertisements.
Last year, police in New Jersey issued 46,206 summonses for failure to wear a seat belt and over 6,000 for speeding.
Law enforcement officials in Ocean and Monmouth Counties begin the 'Click It or Ticket' seat belt enforcement on May 18th.
