Battle of the Belt TN is a program for Tennessee high schools designed to reduce motor vehicle injuries and fatalities by increasing seat belt use. It is recommended to begin the program in December and occur during the spring semester.  Schools improve seat belt use by conducting a student-led educational program and three unannounced seat belt checks with faculty advisor support.  Schools can document and showcase educational programs, seat belt use increase, and/or maintaining a high seat belt use rate and share with students, faculty, parents, and community partners.

The Tennessee Department of Health developed the program and is supported by the Tennessee Department of Education, the Tennessee Injury Prevention Coalition, level-one trauma centers, and many other partners.
