Major Interstates, Intrastates, and Highway Corridors
Kansas contains two major Interstate Highways, I-35 and I-70.
Interstate 35: I-35 begins at the Mexican border in Laredo, Texas and extends to Duluth, Minnesota. 234 miles cross Kansas, including spur routes I-235 to Wichita, I-135 to Salina, and I-335 to Topeka, which is part of the Kansas Turnpike.
Interstate 70: I-70 runs from Cove Fort, Utah to Baltimore, Maryland. Kansas contains 424 miles of this highway, which takes it through Salina and Topeka.
Kansas, "The Sunflower State", lies in the heart of America's central plain region. Osborne County, KS is the geodetic center of North America and serves as the central reference point for all government produced maps. According to the 2000 Census, Kansas reported a population of 2,688,418, with 122,377 residing in the state capital, Topeka. The largest cities in KS include Dodge City, Lawrence, Kansas City, Ottawa, Topeka and Wichita.
Kansas is one of five other Midwestern states experiencing population decreases. Nearly 500,000 residents, half of which hold college degrees, left the six states between the years of 1996 and 2004. Because of this "rural flight", these states offer incentives to newcomers in the form of free land and tax breaks. Kansas, U.S.A., where the Wild West began, still features the wide-open spaces full of beauty and splendor that embodies the legacy of the western frontier.

Did you know that every 16 minutes a person is killed or injured in a truck accident? Did you know that big rig truck accidents continue to increase? Even with these frightening scenarios and statistics, powerful trucking industry lobbyists continue to call for the weakening of truck safety rules and regulations to reap a higher profit.
When truck collisions do occur, trucking companies involved in the accident often send representatives to the accident scene. These agents work to handle everything at the scene of the accident so that they can limit or mitigate their company’s liability.
