Summary
This document is the Missouri Department of Transportation’s (MoDOT) Organizational Results Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2009, detailing the agency’s efforts to drive performance excellence through organizational support, innovative solutions, and targeted research. The report outlines how MoDOT leveraged internal teams and external partnerships to close performance gaps, manage federal funding, and implement best practices across its operations. In the area of organizational support, MoDOT focused on process improvement and strategic partnerships. A key initiative involved the Right of Way Division, which implemented team strategies to boost excess property sales. These efforts resulted in the conveyance of 228 parcels in FY 2009, more than double the previous year’s total, generating nearly $4.3 million in revenue returned to the state’s transportation budget. Additionally, MoDOT launched the "Safety Pays" program to replace its previous injury reduction incentive, aiming to further reduce work-related injuries and workers’ compensation costs. The agency also coordinated complex reporting requirements for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, ensuring transparency and timely project delivery through a dedicated master-reporting calendar and public website. The report highlights several innovative solutions and research findings aimed at improving infrastructure quality and operational efficiency. In pavement engineering, MoDOT adopted the NCAT Permeameter for nondestructive, early-stage asphalt acceptance testing, replacing slower, destructive coring methods. Research into recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) demonstrated their economic value in lowering paving costs amid rising oil prices, with a workshop held to share best practices with industry stakeholders. Furthermore, a benefit-cost evaluation of the Smooth Roads Initiative revealed that striping and delineation improvements reduced fatal and disabling injury accidents by 8% on treated routes, yielding an estimated $9.70 in benefits for every dollar spent. Other research included developing quick-test models for concrete durability factors and studying low-flow water technologies to support barge traffic on the Missouri River. The significance of these findings lies in MoDOT’s shift toward data-driven decision-making and proactive performance management. By standardizing reporting through its "Tracker" publication and implementing rigorous safety and quality metrics, the agency established a framework for continuous improvement. The successful integration of innovative tools, such as the Guardrail Pusher and Bridge Deck Repair Clamp, alongside the validation of new material specifications, demonstrates a commitment to enhancing both employee safety and infrastructure longevity. Ultimately, the report illustrates how structured organizational support and applied research can translate into tangible financial savings, improved public safety, and more efficient transportation services.
