A former Columbia mayor will be sworn-in as a highway commissioner this (Tuesday) morning at the Statehouse in Jefferson City.

Missouri Governor Mike Parson has appointed Brian Treece to the state Highways and Transportation Commission, and the governor will be hosting the 10:30 swearing-in ceremony in the governor’s office.

Mr. Treece served as Columbia’s mayor from 2016 until this spring and says good people can work together to make great things happen. He cites the massive $240-million new I-70 Rocheport bridge project, which is underway.

Treece describes the Rocheport bridge project as a generational investment.

Mr. Treece tells 939 the Eagle that he’s excited about his new bipartisan and statewide role. He notes the commission is not just about highways, and that it also involves airports, railroad and mass transit. He’s also emphasized the importance of connecting urban and rural Missouri.

The state Highways and Transportation Commission is a six-member board that governs MoDOT.

A former Columbia mayor says he is honored to continue his service, now that he’s been appointed to the six-member state Highways and Transportation Commission.

Former Mayor Brian Treece tells 939 the Eagle that the commission has a statewide mission.

“To have the opportunity to continue serving on the state highway and transportation commission is important and critical at this time as we continue to make those investments not just here in Columbia but across the state of Missouri,” Treece says.

He served as Columbia’s mayor from 2016 until this spring. He’ll need to be confirmed by the Missouri Senate, and GOP Senate Majority Leader Caleb Rowden (R-Columbia) tells 939 the Eagle that he’ll be sponsoring Mr. Treece’s nomination.

Former Mayor Treece says the transportation issue links Missouri farmers and urban residents.

“And there more we can do to connect rural Missouri with urban Missouri and that I-70 corridor to move products to manufacturing and manufacturing products to export makes us all stronger,” says Treece.

His nomination could go before the Missouri Senate Gubernatorial Appointments Committee during the September special session.
