Missouri Governor Eric Greitens paid a visit to the Jefferson City maintenance facility on Monday, Jan. 16 to show his appreciation to all MoDOT and Missouri State Highway Patrol employees for their life-saving efforts during Winter Storm Jupiter.

“Thanks to the efforts of MoDOT and the Missouri Highway Patrol, there were fewer accidents and fewer fatalities than on an average dry day,” said Greitens. “The people of Missouri were counting on you. And today, because of the work you did, people are waking up with their kids and grandkids”

“Families are whole because of the work you did. You saved lives. And I just want you to know how incredibly impressed I was with the work that you put in,” he said
