Open Roads = Strong Economies

One day of impassable roads can cost a state from $300 million to $1 billion in lost productivity. Multiply that by a dozen or more communities hit in a single snowstorm and the costs increase exponentially, with the hardest hit being lower- and middle-income Americans, those who work for an hourly wage. Join us today to make our economy stronger

Open Roads = Lives Saved

The USDOT Federal Highway Administration data lists an average of 1,836 deaths and 136,309 injuries per year due to snowy and icy roads. The average icy road fatality count is 3.6 times the total deaths from all other weather hazards combined. Join us today to save lives.
