• Bay Staters continue to buckle up (bostonherald.com) — Easton drivers are part of Bristol County, which still has the lowest seat belt usage rate in Massachusetts at 78%, despite record-high statewide compliance. A new 2025 study shows overall belt use rising, fewer fatal crashes, and continued efforts by state and local police to boost safety on roads that Easton residents use every day.
