About This Group
The Winter Maintenance Subcommittee’s mission is to promote the development and use of the safest, most cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally sensitive winter maintenance technologies, equipment, materials, and practices; thus providing citizens with excellent quality of life during the snow and ice season.
The subcommittee has developed two certificate programs:
- The Winter Maintenance Operator Certificate is for those “behind the wheel” during winter maintenance events.
- The Winter Maintenance Supervisor Certificate is for supervisors and managers.
