EMPHASIS: Patrol Completes Internal Review Of Service On HELP Inc. Board Of Directors


The Missouri State Highway Patrol completed a review of our service on the HELP Inc. Board of Directors after concerns about the perception of board membership were expressed. Separate, contractual relationships have now been formed between the State of Missouri and two bypass service providers. Due to these contracts, we no longer see the need for a Patrol representative to serve on this board. Therefore, the Missouri State Highway Patrol will remove our representative from the HELP Inc. Board of Directors effective May 9, 2017. We will, however, continue interactions with all bypass vendors who operate in this state to make our highways safer.
