Summary

State highway maintenance officials recognize that the adoption
of a systematic approach to snow and ice control using available
technology and research while implementing a proactive decision
making process improves service and reduces costs. Snow and ice
control is one of the most important functions performed by
maintenance forces in many state, county, and local government
highway agencies. This winter maintenance function is frequently
resource intensive and often strains maintenance budgets. For some
agencies, snow and ice control is the single largest line item in
the highway maintenance budget

Recognizing the potential savings and the opportunity to improve
winter maintenance in general, the AASHTO Board of Directors,
acting on recommendations by the AASHTO Standing Committee on
Highways and the AASHTO Highway Subcommittee on Maintenance,
approved an administrative resolution in November 1994 establishing
a winter maintenance program. One element of this program supports
the establishment of a project under the National Cooperative
Highway Research Program (NCHRP) to develop a comprehensive guide
for snow and ice control. As a result, a comprehensive outline of a
proposed guide was developed under NCHRP Project 20-7, Task 71,
"Winter Maintenance Program."
