• Participate in national, state, and local seat belt and child safety seat campaigns.

• Promote seat belt and child safety seat use through special events and media participation

• Champion safety through announcements, electronic scoreboards, signs, buttons, and promotional items

• Establish ongoing arena seat belt programs including parking lot promotions and signs

• Join Safe Community coalitions
