    High schools students awarded for seat belt campaign

    Students from Heritage, Loudoun County and Tuscarora high schools competed to see which school could generate the most student participation and safety belt usage. The safety campaign was a collaborative effort between the Leesburg Police Department and Virginia State Police.

    After the campaign, there was a 14 percent improvement in students choosing to wear safety belts, bringing the overall compliance rate up to 77.4 percent. Before the week-long program, seat belt usage among the students was as low as 66 percent. More than 1,500 students participated in the program.
