Clear Roads has published two new documents: its sixth annual survey of state winter maintenance data and a synthesis report of resources, practices, and needs for weather forecasting.
The survey compiles winter resources, material, and cost data from 36 states for the 2019–2020 winter season. The spreadsheet includes all submitted data as well as calculated statistics and a US map that displays many of these metrics. It also includes data from the previous five surveys (winters 2014–2015 through 2018–2019) and displays averages and changes across winter periods.
The synthesis project sought to determine the best practices agencies use to acquire accurate and timely weather information to strategize and deploy equipment for winter road maintenance operations. The project also examined the practices used to convey information about forecasts and road weather conditions between agency offices and operators in the field.
