Geotab's "A Fleet Manager's Guide to Prepping for Winter Operations" serves as an essential resource to prepare local agencies and ensure a smooth, efficient season.

No public works agency wants to get caught off guard when it comes to winter operations. Snowstorms and ice events can bring heavy focus and criticism from the community to agencies ill-prepared to clean roadways safely and efficiently. According to FHWA, these winter road activities account for nearly 20% of state DOT maintenance budgets. 

Providing clean roads and meeting maintenance standards is an essential service. Doing so promptly requires keeping track of a roster of road-worthy vehicles and managing material usage cost-effectively. Agencies that harness the power of data to streamline their winter operations will not only have a leg up in clearing roads on time and on budget but also safeguard their crews from liability for compliance or damage claims.

This Guide Can Help You:

• Prepare your vehicles for peak performance, from plow sensors to route data
• Strategically budget materials to avoid potential shortages or over-usage
• Navigate compliance challenges with confidence and reduce liability risks
• Discover the future of winter operations with digital tools that track all job aspects
