In 2002, the County of Renfrew and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities co-funded the installation of a two-station Road Weather Information System (RWIS) network within the County. As part of the contract between the two parties, the County of Renfrew agreed to have a third party complete a post-deployment performance evaluation to track the effects of RWIS support on winter maintenance activities and expenditures: the County contracted Mark F. Pinet & Associates Limited to complete the post-deployment reporting. The goal of this report is to determine whether improvements in winter maintenance practices were realized and to support other Municipalities that may wish to install RWIS networks in the future. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E211426.
