State and federal revenue budgets help MoDOT staff do a better job of budgeting limited funds for its operations and capital program.

Having the right number of employees to provide outstanding customer service and respond to the state’s transportation needs, especially during emergency situations, is an important part of MoDOT’s effort to use resources wisely.

When employees leave MoDOT, the department loses a large investment in recruiting, hiring and training its workforce.

MoDOT continues to emphasize cybersecurity and provide training for all department computer users. The cybersecurity oversight team works to define areas of vulnerability and deploy solutions to address risk.

The Cost Share Program builds partnerships with local entities to pool efforts and resources to deliver state highway and bridge projects. When local entities are willing to partner with MoDOT, MoDOT matches their investment up to 50 percent of the project cost.

Local agencies receive federal funds to invest in improving the local infrastructure and share in the cost of those projects by providing 20% local match. To keep federal funds coming to Missouri, all  federal funds received each year must be committed to projects.
