Ten-year-old Isabelle Kaufman of Kingman is one of the Kansas winners in the 2021 Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day poster contest, sponsored annually by the Kansas Department of Transportation and other traffic safety organizations.

Isabelle is the daughter of Jodi and Travis Kaufman.

Contest winners get a bicycle from the Kansas Turnpike Authority and a helmet from Safe Kids Kansas.

The idea of the contest is getting children to think about traffic safety and presenting those ideas on posters. A total of 638 children in Kansas, ages 5 to 13, participated this year.

Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day is a nationwide initiative to improve traffic safety and decrease traffic deaths.
