Accident Report

Did you know that when a federally funded vehicle has been involved in a roadway incident, regardless of severity, it must be reported to MoDOT? MoDOT has created an Accident Report form that transit agencies must complete. The form can be found on the MoDOT-Transit website under "Vehicle Accidents."

Send completed forms for review to Christy.Evers@modot.mo.gov.



Vehicle Disposition Form

MoDOT has updated the vehicle disposition form. Transit agencies that receive federally funded vehicles through MoDOT must complete this form when requesting vehicles to be sold, buyback, etc. The use of this form is effective immediately and can be found on the MoDOT-Transit website under "Vehicle Dispositions."

Send completed forms for review and processing to Lisa.Sloan@modot.mo.gov.
