Kansas launches statewide real-time snowplow tracker

Kansas has launched an online map showing active highway snowplows, their direction of travel and recent routes, with updates every minute; selected trucks also provide dashcam images. In Banff, crews first make roads passable, then clear priority zones and later remove accumulated snow, sometimes needing contractors and advance parking restrictions when storms persist. A Sudbury snow-removal company says preparation before winter—including assigning routes and testing equipment—helps it serve customers during major storms, when it may be unable to accept new clients. For commercial properties, equipment needs vary by lot size and layout, with plow trucks, skid steers or compact tractors, spreaders and sidewalk tools serving different roles.
