Here's
what I've been up to the last few weeks:
After the Innovations Challenge
and DOMInno meeting in Springfield, I hit the road and sat in on as many spring meetings as I could. I have been to six districts (Wayland, Houston, West
Plains, Nevada, KC, Lebanon and Trenton ) and wanted to reinforce a couple of
things.
First,
that MoDOT's direction has not and will not change regardless of what happens
with the transportation funding debate.
Second, that I want you to coordinate your work and focus on safety and
quality instead of focusing on deadlines that may not let you make the best
decisions.
The
best part about my travels the last few weeks is that I got to talk with many
of you one on one during breaks at the meetings. I get more value from hearing
your challenges, your concerns and what you are proud of. This helps me in
figuring out what decisions we make going forward.
