Question 1:

Section (2), Paragraph (A) 1b describes a survey. Later in Section (2), Paragraph (A) 2b it mentions a survey of enforcement participants. Is it one survey that includes the public and some sample of professionals involved in enforcement such as MSHP and local police or is it two separate surveys?

    

Answer:

MoDOT anticipates two surveys, one to address the public and one to a address the law enforcement perspectives.

Can you define who should be included as enforcement participants?
