Globe, Arizona District Snow Effort Mobile Resource Management Joel Miller , John Wakefield, Tim Fox
GLOBE District Mission Statement: To construct, maintain and manage the state transportation system in the Globe District, to meet or exceed the expectations of our customers. Snow Mission • Keep the roads open and safe during snow storms. • Clear the roads of snow efficiently and safely. • Maximize use of limited resources for winter storm events.
Snowfall Distribution State of Arizona Globe District Snow Coverage
Snow Removal Program - Globe 7 Departments (ORGS) 30 Plow Trucks 65 Operators 21 State Routes 2507 miles
Maintenance Expenditures - Globe Snow and Ice Control = 21 Percent!
Challenges in Managing Snow Operations 1. Legal – Showing when & where we plowed and applied chemical. 2. Public Relations – Showing the public in real time, when & where we’ve plowed and applied chemical. 3. Reviewing our storm operation for improvements. 4. Maximum efficiency with our limited resources. 5. Storm scheduling issues – Crews, Plows, Routes, and Materials. 6. Operator safety – Many areas without radio coverage.
