Friendly reminder: time is running out to name an Idaho snowplow!

BOISE – There’s still time for Idaho students to help name one of ITD’s hard-working snowplows! The Idaho Transportation Department’s 2nd annual ‘Name a Snowplow’ contest is open through the end of October.

Classrooms in grades 6–12 can team up to submit creative snowplow names and learn about winter driving safety along the way.

“Our snowplow drivers are thrilled to see students getting involved in this fun, educational opportunity that also highlights the importance of winter driving safety,” said Scott Stokes, Director of ITD.

Two plows in each of ITD’s six regions will receive student-chosen names, voted on by ITD employees. The winning names will be displayed right on the plows, and each winning classroom will get a special visit from “their” snowplow and driver for a winter safety presentation.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this fun Idaho tradition in the making!

Teachers of grades 6–12 can submit entries or ask questions by emailing itdcommunication@itd.idaho.gov.
