When ice and snow are a part of the forecast, we’ll be a part of the scenery. Our white Indy Snow Force trucks will be working night and day to keep Indianapolis moving safely. You can help the effort by doing a few common sense things:

- When you see an Indy Snow Force plow truck, give it plenty of room to operate and use patience. Our trucks plow at slow speeds because it’s the most effective way to remove snow.

- Familiarize yourself with our snowplow priority system so you’ll know which streets will be plowed first.

- Obey all parking restrictions. When initiated, these restrictions allow us to most effectively clear streets. That means smoother traffic flow and fewer “plowed in” vehicles.

- Be vigilant. Find a way to help out elderly or disabled neighbors. They’ll appreciate your extra efforts.

- If you own a four-wheel drive vehicle, you could be a real lifesaver. Offer to take homebound neighbors to doctor appoints or to pickup important supplies like medicine or groceries.

- Remember, it’s not just streets that need cleared. Shovel the sidewalks, driveway entrances, and handicap ramps in front of your home or business so school kids, mail carriers, and pedestrians can walk safely.

- If at all possible, don’t park on city streets when heavy snowfall is predicted. Parked cars slow the plowing process.
