Residents will get an opportunity to hear Missouri Department of Transporation officials discuss staff reductions, facilities closings and equipment sales expected to bring $512 million in savings.
MoDOT will hold community briefings throughout the state to explain cutting 1,200 positions, shuttering 135 facilities and selling more than 740 pieces of equipment, according to a news release. MoDOT officials said in the release that the staff reductions “will occur through attrition and transfers, and, as a last step, layoffs.”
