The six members of the bipartisan Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission are appointed to staggered six-year terms by the governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, subject to statutory requirements for party affiliation, taxpayer status and residency. Any commissioner may be removed by the governor if fully satisfied of his inefficiency, neglect of duty or misconduct in office (Mo. Rev. Stat. §226.030). The MoDOT director is appointed by the commission-subject to statutory requirements for state citizenship, residency and experience and serves at the pleasure of the commission (Mo. Rev. Stat. §226.040).
