🏈 Friday night lights. Small-town pride. Kansans supporting Kansans in the heart of the Midwest. 🌾

In rural Kansas, Friday night football is about so much more than the game. It’s about neighbors supporting neighbors, local businesses investing in their schools, and generations of families filling the stands to support hometown communities, and now is the time for Kansas to step up and support one of our local communities!

At the Kansas Highway Patrol, we’re proud to serve and support communities statewide, from our largest cities to our smallest rural towns. We see firsthand that strong communities are built on trust, connection, and people who care about something bigger than themselves.

That’s the heart of Kansans supporting Kansans. It’s communities coming together, investing in their youth, and building something bigger than themselves. The opportunity to vote for Baldwin City is an opportunity to strengthen a Kansas community, and further the connections made through Friday night lights shining in the communities that make our state special.

Now is the time to show support, to change the future for a small town Kansas community - by voting daily until 10/25 to change the future for Baldwin City.

Supporting Baldwin City is an opportunity to show the rest of the country what makes Kansas different. It’s our small-town values, our hardworking people, our hometown pride, and our willingness to show up for one another. We may be known for our wide-open spaces, but what truly makes Kansas shine is the strength of the people who call it home.

When Kansans support Kansans, we don’t just strengthen our communities. We show the country what it means to be a Kansan.

Across state lines, Highway Patrol agencies share a common bond - service, partnership, and a commitment to keeping our communities and roadways safe.

It was great seeing our Highway Patrol partners from Tennessee Highway Patrol today and knowing that this profession is bigger than any one state.

One mission. Many agencies. One Highway Patrol family. 🤝🚔

Lightning came all the way from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) with one thing on his mind… ⚡️🚔

He wants to be a Kansas State Trooper!

We told him there’s just one problem… he’ll have to learn that Rock Chalk thing first.

Rock Chalk, Jayhawk!

⚠UPDATED SEPT. 29 at 9:55am – Ramp changes at the US24/K-4 interchange are now in place. Please plan ahead!

🔶U.S. 24/K-4 ramp changes scheduled next week

Ramp changes at the U.S. 24/K-4 interchange north of Topeka are scheduled to take place next week, as part of the Kansas Department of Transportation’s U.S. 24 reconstruction project in Shawnee and Jefferson counties.

On Tuesday, Sept. 29, the westbound U.S. 24 exit ramp to K-4 will reopen to traffic. Once reopened, crews will then close the K-4 ramp to westbound U.S. 24. The ramp is expected to remain closed until December.

During the closure, drivers can follow the marked detour on NE 46th Street and Topeka Boulevard or find an appropriate alternative route.

All project work and traffic changes are conditions permitting and subject to change.

More information about the U.S. 24 reconstruction and improvements project can be found on the project website: ksdot.gov/us-24-shawnee-county.

KDOT urges motorists to stay alert, follow posted signs and refrain from hand-held mobile device use in all active work zones. For current road conditions, visit KanDrive.gov or call 511. For updates on highway projects in northeast Kansas, visit ksdot.gov/NortheastNews.

Lieutenant Otero-Hernandez spoke with students at Topeka Center for Advanced Learning & Careers today about the dangers of impaired driving and making good decisions behind the wheel.

One bad decision can change a life. Make smart decisions, stay focused on the road, and keep yourself and others on the road safe.

🏈 It’s Kansas Football time! 🏈

With the Jayhawks on the field, KHP Troopers are right on the sidelines to keep teams, fans and the community safe.

From team escorts and specialized assignments to securing the sidelines and monitoring traffic after the game, you never know where your service with KHP will take you.

If your game plan includes celebrations with drinks, always plan ahead for a sober driver or use a rideshare so everyone makes it home safe.
