Your USPA Executive Director has been serving on MoDOT’s Planning Advisory Team to update the state’s Airport System Plan which has now been finalized, and MoDOT has sent me several copies of the newly-published booklets highlighting the major benefits of aviation in Missouri, airport by airport. Missouri’s aviation system contributes more than 149,000 jobs and $9.5 billion in economic activity to the state’s economy. The report demonstrates Missouri’s aviation system is an integral component of the state’s total transportation system, contributing substantially to the states economic vitality.
I have a number of copies of the brochure and will be happy to send you one if you would find it useful. I originally saw a similar report compiled by New Mexico several years ago, and am happy to have contributed in a small way to this report for Missouri.
You may email me at jan@uspilots.org, or request a copy directly from MoDOT at aviation@modot.mo.gov.
