MoDOT To Eliminate 400 Salaried Positions

images[1] On Wednesday, Pete Rahn, director of the Missouri Department of Transportation said MoDOT will allow 400 salaried positions to go unfilled in an attempt to save $203 million over the next 5 years.

In addition, MoDOT will look to sell surplus property and reduce the number of buildings and offices it currently owns.

MoDOT is reported to have about 6,300 salaries and hourly employees.

MoDOT’s cuts are a result of declining state revenues, uncertain federal funding, rising employee benefit costs and no more money coming from Amendment 3 bonds.
