Keystone, ACV students among Paint the Plow entrants

From staff reports

PennDOT’s District 10 is inviting the public to vote on nine plows decorated by high school students in Clarion, Jefferson and three other counties as part of the annual Paint the Plow program.

Paint the Plow is a statewide outreach aimed at promoting winter driving safety and fostering appreciation for high school art programs and student creativity.

Earlier this year, PennDOT invited students to paint plow blades based on the statewide theme “Put Down the Device in Snow and Ice.”

The theme was chosen to draw attention to the need for motorists to give driving their full attention and eliminate distractions, like cell phones, especially during winter weather events.

Students from Keystone, Allegheny-Clarion Valley and Brookville high schools are among the participants.

After a two-year hiatus, members of the public have been asked to vote for their favorite plow. Voting will be done through the PennDOT website at https://forms.office.com/g/z3339PYNPk

Voters should click on the Paint the Plow icon which will redirect them to a survey site where they can pick their favorite plow.

The plow photo that receives the most votes between Dec. 5 and Dec. 11 will be deemed the “Fan Favorite.”

PennDOT will post the pictures on statewide and regional Facebook and Twitter accounts, but responses on social media won’t count toward the voting totals.

The blades will be used to maintain area roadways during the winter season.
