Employees of the Ohio Department of Transportation were given the opportunity to showcase their skills as equipment operators. To find out who is the best of the best, 22 snowplow drivers and 38 loader drivers had to maneuver their equipment through a series of obstacles that mimic what they may encounter on the job.
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 1 is accepting applications for this year’s Paint the Plow program through Friday, March 13. High schools and vocational school groups within its eight-county region, including Allen, Defiance, Hancock, Hardin, Paulding, Putnam, Van Wert, and Wyandot counties are eligible. The Paint the Plow program allows students to paint an ODOT snowplow blade with a message of school spirit, Ohio pride, patriotism or safety. The decorated blades are displayed at local community events before being used in regular winter operations. In ODOT District 1, the contest has been held annually since 2014.
Next time you see an ODOT plow, don't be surprised if you see some art painted across the front.
