St. Joseph, Mo. – Over the last several years, agencies and organizations across Northwest Missouri have received funding for programs aimed at reducing injuries and fatalities on our roadways. With preliminary reports showing 49 fatalities within the northwest region’s 20 counties during 2021, the work is not over yet.
