  • ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Persevering and Progressing During the Pandemic MAASTO a LETTER from 2021 the PRESIDENT
    MAASTO Mid America Association of State Transportation Officials ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Persevering and progressing during the pandemic MAASTO A LETTER FROM 2021 THE PRESIDENT 2020 was a year that tested our society on every level, including our transportation system. The COVID-19 pandemic, and its impacts on the behavior of drivers and consumers, created both unprecedented challenges and opportunities. The calls for social justice and an end to oppression caused us to renew our focus on the way our organizations and our transportation projects affect issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. And as we scrambled to meet the demands of the present, we were keenly aware of the need to plan for the future of transportation, with the promise of new technologies that will transform our mobility options in profound ways. It was a year in which the value of MAASTO to its member transportation agencies and the people they serve was especially evident. When the pandemic hit, MAASTO provided the perfect platform for transportation leaders in the Midwest to compare notes on the emerging situation and share best practices for maintaining our transportation system and responding to the crisis. MAASTO established an Equity and Inclusion Committee to help us learn from each other, both on creating a more equitable workplace and to understand and promote positive outcomes for communities. And we continued to prepare for the advent of Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) technology, establishing a CAV committee and conducting the second annual MAASTO CAV Summit in October. All the Midwestern states are facing similar challenges to understand how the transportation role of state government will be affected – from changes to laws and regulations to ensuring that this new technology benefits everyone in our states.

  • Monroe County Manufacturing & Logistics Overview
    MONROE COUNTY MANUFACTURING AND LOGISTICS INDUSTRY OVERVIEW COUNTY OVERVIEW Monroe County, Illinois, sits in the southern portion of the St. Louis region -- a vital transportation hub and home to all four major modes of transportation including road, rail, water and air. The county lies just east of the Mississippi River and south of the St. Louis metropolitan area, among lush rolling hills dotted with numerous picturesque communities that are home to growing populations and thriving businesses. These communities include the towns of Columbia, Waterloo (county seat), Valmeyer and Hecker, as well as other smaller villages such as Maeystown and Fults. Featuring the safest municipalities in the state, it has been one of the fastest growing counties in the bi-state area, seeing its population increase nearly 20% between 2000 and 2010, before posting a more modest increase of another 4% (32,431 to 33,739) between 2010 and 2017 (U.S. Census). Monroe County also is home to approximately 3,000 businesses of many different types, from manufacturing and light industrial, to technology, professional services, warehouse and distribution, retail, and corporate headquarters. Since 2016, economic development in the county has been guided by the Monroe County IL Economic Development Corporation (MCILEDC), which aligns the efforts of public and private leaders to move the economy forward in the county and other opportunity areas in adjacent Randolph and St. Clair Counties. Its governing Board is made up of 30 business and government leaders dedicated to continuing to grow a more diversified local economy, a broader tax base and an enhanced quality of life for the region.
