State Transportation Crews Prepared To Keep Kentucky Moving Safely Again This Winter

FRANKFORT, Ky. – State officials and members of Team Kentucky’s Transportation Cabinet held an event today at a Kenton County maintenance facility to mark the beginning of snow and ice season in the transportation world. With winter weather on the horizon, officials discussed preparation efforts and provided traveler tips to ensure safety for motorists. High school students have partnered with the cabinet, too, by participating in the second annual statewide “Paint the Plow” program to promote a safe driving message featuring original artwork on select plow blades used to clear state-maintained roadways in communities.    Crews and support staff are ready to resume their “snow fighter” role to once again keep Kentucky moving safely this winter. With plow trucks prepped and gear checked, crews remind all drivers to remain alert for wintry weather.
