By using pilot programs and conducting cost benefit analysis, the Village of Buffalo Grove has successfully re-written their winter maintenance plan, implemented BMP's for winter maintenance, reduced the amount of chlorides applied and reduced overall program costs; without compromising their level of service.  Winter maintenance annual program savings have in large part paid for new technologies, without the need to request additional program funding.  The agency received APWA's Excellence in Snow and Ice Control award in 2016 based on the changes made to the program.  See if it could work for you. 

Learning Objectives: 

– Improve agency efficiency. 

– Initiate program growth.
