Transportation is more than roads and bridges and projects. It’s personal! It is your connection to safety, work, business, family and better government.
Your Connections Are in Jeopardy
Your connections have been improving, but now they are in jeopardy and could get worse.
Funding for transportation in Missouri has been cut in half from a construction program that averaged $1.2 billion to about $600 million a year. Now we will only be able to take care of the roads and bridges we have. There won’t be enough money for the major transportation projects we need to do to keep motorists safe, support jobs, provide additional transportation options and compete economically.
What About Your Connections for the Future
MoDOT is doing what we can. We are tightening our belt. We are getting smaller, cutting costs, reducing services and squeezing every penny out of every dollar we have to maintain your connections. However, we can only survive this way for so long. Our ability to maintain and improve your connections is up to you. Tough decisions lie ahead:
Do Nothing - We’ll lose the progress we’ve gained. Roads and bridges will get worse. Lives and jobs will be at stake.
Take Action - Only Missourians can decide what we can do to increase funding for transportation. Get involved. Contact your elected officials. Talk to your family, friends and neighbors. Join the Missouri Transportation Alliance.
