MDOT Snowplows to be Named on Interactive Online Map

snow-plow

Lansing, MI – Michigan Department of Transportation snowplows now will have a special and personal touch on the department’s interactive Mi Drive map.

MDOT has started giving snowplows unique and creative names on the Mi Drive map. Current names include Plowasaurus Rex, Sir Salts-A-Lot, and Snowboni, and were chosen from hundreds of public offerings.

Yes, Plowy McPlowface is on the list…

Starting with several snowplows in MDOT’s Southwest Region, MDOT is hopeful to name each of the plows statewide in the near future.

To see each snowplow’s name, visit Mi Drive at www.Michigan.gov/Drive and activate the MDOT snowplow tracker map layer.

More names are needed, and everyone is welcomed to participate. Go to www.Michigan.gov/NameMISnowplow and submit your ideas.
