The mission doesn’t change, but the place within the structure of state bureaucracy does for the Division of Highway Safety, now the Office of Highway Safety. State Highway Safety Director Joyce Shaul says little will change within her office now that it is moving from the Department of Public Safety to the Missouri Department of Transportation. She says the mission stays the same: changing driver behavior. Shaul says the office likely does make a better fit in MoDOT. The change comes as a result of the executive order by Governor Bob Holden. The Office of Highway Safety uses millions of federal dollars to pay for its programs.
