The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has implemented a comprehensive network of Road Weather Information System (RWIS) stations to provide highway maintenance staff with the most up to date information to proactively make the most appropriate winter maintenance decisions. The Ontario RWIS model facilitates the sharing of data among road authorities that have stations, to expand the information available for making operational decisions. In addition, MTO has structured a plan to share its station data with municipalities that do not have stations so that all road agencies may be able to improve their winter maintenance operations for the benefit of Ontario drivers. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E211426.
