Almighty God of our families and our Loving God, we do begin this day conscious of Your presence and committing our lives anew to You. Sustain us with Your spirit and make us ready for our responsibilities, equal to our experiences, and adequate for every task. In the midst of the heat of daily duties let not our strength fail, nor our steps falter, nor our vision fade.

Make us patient with each other and understanding, remembering that each one of us walks a lonely road and each one has struggles no one else knows.

Give to us a real reverence for personality, a deep desire to speak the truth, and an unending enthusiasm for the reign of liberty and justice in our Nation and in our World. In the Master’s name we pray. Amen.

WHEREAS, 28 Missouri State Highway Patrolmen have given the ultimate sacrifice, including seven Missouri State Highway Patrolmen who were killed along side Missouri's highways since 2001; and 16 Missouri State Highway Patrol vehicles have been involved in traffic accidents in the last twelve months; and

WHEREAS, highway injuries and fatalities are the result of driver inattention and the failure of drivers to slow down and move over in work zones or upon approach of emergency vehicles; and

WHEREAS, highway workers, including employees of the Missouri Department of Transportation, Missouri State Highway Patrol, law enforcement agencies, emergency medical services personnel, and highway contractors, regularly must work within the public right of way and in close proximity to traffic; and

WHEREAS, the Missouri General Assembly passed House Bill No. 1270 and House Bill No. 2032 in 2002 to require Missouri motorists to move over one lane or slow down when approaching parked emergency motor vehicles on highway right-of-ways; and

WHEREAS, public awareness of the need for greater caution and care by motorists while driving through highway work zones, while promoting safe practices by highway workers in highway work zones must be increased in the state of Missouri; and

WHEREAS, the Missouri General Assembly desires to promote highway worker safety and to encourage motorists traveling through Missouri highway work zones to exercise caution and care; and

WHEREAS, the Missouri General Assembly desires to generate an increased awareness of Missouri's law to move over or slow down when approaching stationary emergency vehicles in order to avoid the recent tragedies experienced by the Missouri State Highway Patrol:

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Missouri Senate be instructed to prepare properly inscribed copies of this resolution for the Missouri Department of Transportation.
