Air Bag & Seat Belt Safety Campaign The people who do the right thing and wear seat belts are paying for those who don't -- particularly since many people injured while not wearing a safety belt have inadequate insurance or none at all. Americans are paying $14.3 billion per year in injury-related costs for people who don't wear seat belts. By increasing seat belt use from the current 68 percent to 90 percent, we would save $356 million a year in Medicare and Medicaid costs alone.  

Air Bag and Seat Belt Safety Campaign Partners  In addition to acting as administrator of the Campaign, the Council is working with its 76 chapters nationwide to spread the air bag safety message.
