As more and more people share our roads and drive more miles, it is essential to take the few seconds required to buckle up on each and every ride. Crash Crackdown, a coordinated campaign over the Labor Day weekend, centered on key interstate routes that link the states in Region 6. In year 2000, traffic fatalities for the weekend reached 55, compared to 85 during the prior year's holiday period. The Indian Nations, through the Highway Safety Office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Albuquerque, is an integral part of Region 6. Made up of 557 independent tribes, there is no centralized data collection system for data from these tribes.
Some tribes have standard belt use laws, others have secondary laws, and many have no belt use laws.
All other states in Region 6 have standard use laws except Arkansas, which has a secondary law.
