Think the roads look trashy? MoDOT and KDOT say they don’t like it either and they’re looking for workers to help

The departments of transportation for both Missouri and Kansas want you to know — they see it, too. Officials with MoDOT and KDOT have been getting call after call from people all complaining about the same thing — trash. And, they don’t like it either. But it’s not an easy fix right now. Officials with KDOT say most of the state’s complaints come from the Kansas City core metro area where there’s a high volume of traffic. In Missouri, officials said the department spends more than $1 million on cleanup in our area alone each year, but it’s not enough. “Across the state, we’re facing a staffing shortage that impacts our litter pickup efforts,” said Matt Killion, Assistant District Engineer for MoDOT. Both departments are facing the same problem — they don’t have enough workers to pick up all of the trash.
