Snow Plows Not As Busy This Year: KSUB News Summary

The cost of snow removal this winter season is lower than last year. The Utah Department of Transportation says costs are less because snowfall is no where near last year's record breaking accumulation. The snow operations budget is about 30-million dollars annually. Spending is for labor, equipment and materials. Officials say crews were out on a daily basis in 2023, when UDOT went 12-million dollars over budget for snow removal. So far this season, the department has spent about 11-million-dollars, slightly below average.
