Elementary school students (K-5) were asked to submit name ideas for snowplows in honor of the Department’s snowplow operators and technicians. This is the second year of the contest.
“We received nearly 150 entries this year from schools across the state, and with so many creative names, it was difficult to choose the winners,” said Secretary of Transportation Nicole Majeski. “We appreciate everyone’s participation, and maybe we will have one good snowfall students can enjoy before the winter is over!”
