MoDOT Director Kevin Keith is addressing a so-caled transportation funding crisis by proposing that the state close 135 facilities, sell more than 740 pieces of equipment and cuts 12-hundred jobs in the Department of Transportation. He says implementing these changes will give Missouri 512 million dollars to use for necessary road and bridge projects by 2015. There will be a number of community briefings in the next month, then the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission will vote on the proposal, June 8th.
