For months, I’ve been chatting with Department of Transportation (DOT) leaders at industry conferences, and two key problems keep coming up in conversation: severe revenue shortfall and overburdened employees. These issues seem to be universal, regardless of where an agency is located.
Internal staff are stretched thin maintaining and repairing critical public safety assets like bridges and guardrails. They must balance these ongoing needs with competing priorities and increasingly limited budgets.
The DOT leaders I’ve spoken with are looking for creative solutions to these widespread challenges. Their goal is to reduce employee workloads without increasing costs.
By outsourcing fixed object damage recovery services to CMR, agencies can reduce employees’ workloads and free up time and resources for higher-priority projects.
And because CMR is 100%-contingency based, we don’t get paid unless we recover on the damage claims, meaning DOT expenses stay flat while revenue is added back into the budget.
Forward-thinking DOT leaders can mitigate the dual pressures of revenue shortfall and overburdened employees by partnering with CMR.
Our results speak for themselves. On average, we:
- Process 70,000 damage claims a year
- Invoice $300 million in damages a year
- Recover on more than 80% of claims
- Close claims in under 75 days
Through one strategic partnership with CMR, these two problems are addressed. We can provide a comprehensive, no-obligation claims review to demonstrate how we’re an innovative, “one stone” solution to two pervasive problems in your department.
