Would you like to talk to Missouri Highways and Transportation Commissioners? They might be closer than you think.
The commission is taking to the road, and the remainder of the 2010 monthly meetings will be located in one of seven cities throughout the state.
The commission road tour kicks off June 2 with a meeting at the Lee's Summit City Hall and ends Dec. 1 at the Hyatt Regency in St. Louis.
Here are the other stops along the way:
July 1 -- Missouri Western State University St. Joseph
Aug. 4 -- City Utilities Springfield
Sept. 1 --Hawkins Theatre Shelbina
Oct. 6 -- Ketcham Center Trenton
Nov. 3 -- Country Club Plaza Marriott Kansas City
The commission typically meets in Jefferson City, MoDOT's headquarters, when the state legislature is in session January through May. For the past several years, the commission has taken its business on the road from June to December to offer taxpayers a better voice in transportation issues and to help commissioners be better informed about decisions made for the state.
