(Undated) — Fatalities on rural roadways in Iowa are above the national average. The Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau is launching a new initiative to combat this. The High Five Rural Traffic Safety Project aims to get more Iowans wearing seatbelts. Five counties with low seat belt compliance rates were selected to take part in the project. Starting December 1, the initiative will focus on enforcing traffic laws and educating community members on the benefits of wearing seat belts. Appanoose, Fremont, Humboldt, Keokuk, and Mitchell counties will participate in the High Five Rural Traffic Safety Project through September 2023.
