			MoDOT's roadside management philosophy is to preserve, enhance and diversify the roadsides of Missouri’s transportation system. Our roadside management program helps keep Missouri roadsides safe and attractive. This program establishes and maintains desirable roadside vegetation to control erosion. Another aspect of this philosophy is to promote, preserve and establish pollinator-beneficial habitats when feasible.

	This is accomplished through several methods including an effective herbicide program, fertilization, mowing, brush control and litter removal. Wildflower and native grass plantings, landscaping and naturalized vegetation are also part of maintaining and improving safety and roadside appearance. Combining different management practices, such as these, form an [[822.6 Definitions#IRVM\|Integrated Roadside Vegetation Management]] (IRVM) program.

	The sharing of best practices among districts results in greater efficiency and effectiveness ~~and helps meet the need to operate better, faster and cheaper~~. Money is saved on labor and mobilization by making mowing a focused priority during scheduled times. Consistency is also improved.
