Missouri has a long history of commitment to safety of the motoring public on the highways of this state. Missouri is also committed to implement a regulatory environment that ensures safety without undue cost to the motor carrier industry. The state of Missouri is unique in its geographical location with four major interstates running through the state. Each of the major interstates has a fairly high percentage of motor carrier traffic to total daily traffic. Under current procedures, all trucks must stop at weigh facilities when scales are open. As state resources become more critical, the regulatory environment must be evaluated along with the need to facilitate the movement of goods over our highways. The business plan is intended to assist this state in improving its commercial vehicle operation regulation, guide the deployment and installation of intelligent transportation systems and to implement these systems in an efficient and cost effective manner. During the course of this document, a history of Missouri's commercial vehicle operation activities will be described; a detail list of completed projects will be outlined; a description of how this business plan was developed; the framework of the current regulatory environment; the strategic direction of commercial vehicle operations in this state as well as a description of current and future projects for implementation of intelligent transportation systems.
