Leaders of Missouri’s transportation system highlight the state’s recent successes with roadway improvement in an effort to pave the way for further support and funding for the future. Governor Blunt tells the participants at the Conference on Transportation that Missouri is seeing an unmistakable turnaround in state transportation. 

Blunt says tranportation serves as the groundwork for the nation’s economy. He says it’s unmistakable that the work already completed by the state Transportation Department and the new projects aimed at improving it, such as the Smoother Roads Initiative, the Better Roads, Brighter Future Initiative and the Safe and Sound Bridges Initiative, are improving the commutes of motorists and the quality of life for residences by strengthening the state’s economy with jobs and added revenue.
