WNZR joins local law enforcement to support the Click It or Ticket Initiative

WNZR went “On The Road with Big Blue” to the Mount Vernon Farmer’s Market to talk about the 2026 Click It or Ticket Campaign. This is a safety initiative to educate the public about the importance of seat belt safety.
We talked with representatives from local law enforcement:

  • Deputy Tom Queen from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office
  • Trooper Jared Myers from the Ohio State Highway Patrol
  • Officer Jackie Nauman from the Mount Vernon Police Department
  • Community Risk Reduction and Inspector Ross Wind from the Mount Vernon Fire Department

Click HERE to hear our conversation or click on the link below.

They shared some eye-opening stats on seat belt usage and how important it is to buckle up. We also talked about the importance of seat belts in all scenarios including summer travel, nighttime driving, and with teen drivers. They shared common misconceptions of seat belt usage including the interaction with air bags, proper child restraints and booster seats, and the importance for back seat passengers to buckle up.

One of the safest choices YOU can make is to buckle up!
Buckle up all the time – for short trips and long trips, and in every seating position.
