| Adding to the numerous operational benefits provided by a real-time
Internet-based GPS/AVL system, www.whereismysnowplow.com
is an add-on that presents your constituents with a window on winter road
maintenance.
It is a unique customer service tool that allows your constituents, media and
elected officials to help themselves to information about snow clearing
activities as they happen -- and free up your staff time to take care of
business.
Whereismysnowplow can be used to aid a variety of resident's decisions and most
typically to answer questions related to 'how come my street is not cleared.'
Generally, it provides an additional measure of understanding and comfort that
activity is taking place.
These sites have spin-offs related to public education and public
accountability. They allow stakeholders to witness the level of resources
required to keep streets passable during winter storm events. It helps
reinforce to target audiences that "we only do the amazing, not the
impossible".
