By partnering, together we leverage funds that separately would not have been enough to take on the project. This allows partners to hasten the time it takes to get a project to completion, resulting in accelerating these potential benefits. Accelerating construction can help avoid additional costs due to inflation.
Partnering helps realize benefits that we would not have enjoyed in separate efforts. When transportation infrastructure is built, it often has a positive effect on the local economy. When MoDOT partners to accelerate a project, citizens gain the benefit of the infrastructure earlier.
The Innovations Challenge is a perfect example of partnering at work.
