The Roundabout

The Roundabout is a Kansas LTAP webinar series that focuses on hot topics of the industry and promotes discussion for best practices, shared experiences and innovation. Join us at 11 a.m. on the second Friday of every other month. Use the links to the right to register for the upcoming webinar or to view previously recorded webinars.

Join us on February 13, 2026, for our next Roundabout Webinar, where we invite Nicole Waldheim to discuss the Safe System Approach. The Safe System Approach (SSA) is widely recognized for its potential to reduce roadway fatalities and serious injuries, but U.S. transportation agencies have not fully institutionalized its principles within planning and programming. A recently developed toolkit features actionable strategies and real-world examples to help agencies build readiness and integrate SSA across all aspects of their work programs. This webinar will share information on a handful of the tools relevant in Kansas.
