KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Have you ever wanted to name a snowplow? Well now is your chance! MDOT is giving the public the opportunity to name its more than 250 snowplows across the state!

How does Little Snow Peep, Snowmagedon, The Plow Ranger or even Sir Plows a lot sound? Those are just some of the several MDOT plows that have already been named and out on the roads! This is a fun unique way to be interactive with the snowplows as they clear snow in your neighborhood!

If you have a creative idea for a snowplow name or your school wants to partner with MDOT on a name you can log on to michigan.gov/namemisnowplow. Make sure your creative name is family friendly, G-rated and nothing copyrighted. Once a name has been selected you can see it on your snowplow through their interactive MI drive map.
