Safe Kids Cascade County

The Safe Kids Cascade County coalition works to prevent unintentional injury and death. Our main focus is on occupant protection, including the proper use of car seats and seat belts.

Coalition members include representatives from the school district, health care, law enforcement, businesses and other community agencies and members. The coalition meets bimonthly. If you are interested in joining the coalition or learning more, please call Mary Kay at 452-0881 x304.

Although observed safety belt use in Montana is just under 80%, if between 87% and 94% of Montanans used seatbelts, it is estimated that an additional 20-30 lives would be saved each year. That number increases to 75 additional lives if seatbelt use were 100%. It's simple: increased seatbelt use results in fewer injuries and deaths.
