Reprise: Why is MDOT naming snowplows? Thank the Scots
As lower Michigan braces for the first significant snowfall of the seasons, we’re reprising a Talking Michigan Transportation episode from when the department launched a program to name snow plows.
This episode features a conversation with Iain McDonald of Transport Scotland, about their program to name the plows, or “gritters” as they call them.
Later, MDOT’s Nick Schirripa joined the conversation to talk about some of the creative names people submitted for plows here.
