Topeka Wins 2020 Insurify Safest Cities Award

Topeka has been found to have some of the safest drivers in the nation by Insurify. Winning cities were home to the lowest share of residents with a prior traffic violation statewide.

The Greater Topeka Partnership, the region’s leading collaborative economic development agency, sees this recognition as a major lure to visitors and talent looking to move to the area.

“‘Getting there’ is half the battle when it comes to travel and tourism,” said Sean Dixon, president of Visit Topeka. “If we can promise our visitors a safe and relaxing commute, we’ll have greatly impacted their overall satisfaction with their trip to Topeka. And with a good impression fresh in their minds, they are far more likely to return.”

“When people are considering relocating to a new city, the topic of safety is always a major concern,” says Barbara Stapleton, vice president of business retention and talent initiatives, GO Topeka. “The title ‘Safest Driving City in Kansas’ alone serves as a great selling point for many people struggling with the daily hassles of daily commutes. As more people come into Topeka & Shawnee County through the talent pipeline, through talent recruitment programs like Choose Topeka, they will see advantages like this are only the tip of the iceberg.”

“Good behavior on the roads represents a driver’s commitment to their own safety and also to the safety of others,” said Snejina Zacharia, CEO of Insurify. “My congratulations to the upstanding drivers of these cities for having the cleanest driving records of their state.”
