The Road to Environmentally Sustainable Winter Operations through Technology

A New England Chapter Connects Series — Presented by the NEAPWA's Public Works Awareness and Education Committees

When: Thursday, October 27, 2022, 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. via Zoom Hosted by T2 Center at UCONN

Each Winter Storm Event operation depends upon many elements: weather conditions, staffing, budgets, material costs, and environmental impacts. In this panel, the discussions will emphasize the metrics of materials, staffing, budget & optimization. Today, the buzz words of “sustainability, optimization and efficiency” are very much a part every Public Works Agency.  The panel will provide examples (including successes & failures) of how they have embraced & implemented technology, here in New England.

The panel is comprised of people who have researched, embraced and implemented technology in the oldest part of our country which can be challenging, and of people who have had the challenge of working with their staffs to make the programs successful while incorporating new technology to reach their snow and ice treatment goals.  We encourage you to take part in this engaging discussion of innovation, technology & sustainability!
