The Kansas Safety
Belt Education Office (KSBEO) is contracted by the Kansas
Department of Transportation to promote occupant protection
in the State of Kansas. With a primary focus on saving
lives and reducing injuries, KSBEO encourages Kansans
to buckle up and travel safely on every ride. To measure
statewide compliance, KSBEO also conducts an annual
safety belt usage study which involves over 548 survey
sites. Additionally, KSBEO aims to increase awareness
about Child Passenger Safety, airbags and other occupant
protection devices through educational classes, seminars
and programming.
To accomplish these goals, KSBEO often partners with
outside sources including law enforcement agencies,
Emergency Medical Services, primary and secondary schools,
Health Departments, safety coalitions and others. Each
year, KSBEO reaches a variety of audiences; ranging
from children in schools, to adults in the workplace,
with a combination of public information, educational
programming and community awareness efforts. KSBEO materials,
including free promotional items, brochures, fact sheets
and The Pulse, a quarterly newsletter related to occupant
protection; are also distributed statewide.
