Many provincial, municipal and private road authorities are being proactive in managing road salt use. Their efforts are on many fronts including: reviewing levels of service; refining plow and spreader routes; improving documentation and recordkeeping; improving training; improving equipment; improving decisionmaking; improving material storage and handling practices; and factoring salt vulnerable areas into management practices. This paper will present experiences with how a wide range of road authorities are improving their practices. The paper will include anecdotal information from operations managers on what improvements provided the best salt management results.
