The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration awarded the Kansas Highway Patrol $1.722 million on December 1, 2025, under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance High Priority Activities Grants program (CFDA 20.237) to continue and expand the "Troopers on Patrol for Safety" (TOPS) program through September 30, 2028.

The Kansas Highway Patrol will conduct high-visibility traffic enforcement operations targeting commercial motor vehicle safety and moving violations in high-crash areas, rural roads, and work zones across Kansas. Enforcement activities focus on excessive speed, following too closely, improper lane changes, and distracted driving in high-risk metro areas and work zones.

The assistance type is a project grant. The period of performance runs from December 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028. Work is performed statewide across Kansas with administrative oversight in Topeka.

The proposed project will continue the applicant's "troopers on patrol for safety" (tops) program with a focus on traffic enforcement in high crash areas with an emphasis on excessive speed and CMV safety in work zone. The applicant will have additional high-visibility enforcement patrols focused on moving violations such as speeding, following too closely, improper lane changes, and distracted driving, among other behaviors. These targeted enforcement efforts will take place in high-risk areas, including kansas' high crash metro areas, rural roads, and work zones.
