(Missourinet) The Missouri Department of Transportation has installed GPS tracking devices on all of its snow plows and material spreaders – to tell which roads have been treated and which ones need some TLC. MoDOT’s Becky Allmeroth says the system has helped the department with efficiency, especially as the agency deals with a significant workforce shortage and covid infections among employees.
She says the technology also lets the agency’s mechanics know when a truck needs maintenance…
To report a road that might need to some TLC, call 1-888-AskMoDOT. To see what the road conditions are like, go to modot.org or download the app.
