In a tribute to the city’s snow plow operators who work long hours in tough winter weather conditions to keep the traveling public safe throughout our city, we are excited to announce our inaugural Name a Snow Plow Contest. 

When snowstorms hit and most people are safe and warm at home while our snow plows and their operators are out playing a critical role for roadway safety. Snow plows are imposing pieces of equipment and we want the public to play a role in naming them so they can feel a stronger connection to the snowplow and operator. Our hope is that this increased personal connection will lead drivers to give snow plows plenty of room, respect passing distances and practice safe driving in winter conditions. We invite kids, adults and everyone in between to send us their creative, fun snow plow names!

Community members can submit names and vote for their favorites to name 5 members of our snow plow fleet. 

Winning names will be added to the plows so you can easily identify them during the 2023 winter season and beyond!

Email submissions to info@brightoncity.org  to submit your naming suggestions by Sunday, January 22 at 5 pm.
