Washington DC Snowplow Tracker
During Winter weather snow events, the District Snow Team Tracker is a live map of plow activity on streets traveled* by municipal vehicles and vehicles leased by the District Government. The District Snow Team also uses contract plows which may not have Geo-Tracking capability. Due to technology differences, the Snow Tracker may not display all trucks deployed for a snow event.District Snow Team vehicles enabled with Geo-Tracking capability are displayed on the Snow Tracker with various colors.Streets traveled within the last 4 hours are reflected with greenStreets traveled within the last 4 - 12 hours are reflected with blueStreets traveled within the last 12 – 24 hours are reflected with yellow The tracker is updated daily reflecting the date on the page of the Winter weather event. The District snow program does not plow federally maintained roads (such as the National Mall, Rock Creek Park, the National Arboretum, Fort Dupont and Ft. Davis park, and military base roads). Our snow program also does not plow private streets. Other roadways on areas such as hospital complexes, schools and college campuses, and various cemeteries are not part of this public plow tracker map. Various small sections of roadways such as many ramps and service roads are left off because they cannot be properly represented without crowding the map and causing overlapping data.*Streets traveled includes tracking of vehicles that are in transit to specific routes, pre-treatment, and/or plowing. Streets are not plowed with less than 2 inches of snow accumulation.
