Snow Removal Policy - Adopted December 16, 1999
The Teton County Road Department strives to provide reasonable and dependable snow removal services to the residents of Teton County. The following policy will be utilized for snow removal:

1. Snow plowing will be considered when there is three inches of snow cover depending upon conditions such as wind and temperature as well as public safety concerns.
2. Operators will be dispatched by the road foreman or leadman. Overtime for operators must be approved in advance or, in the event of an emergency, overtime will be approved as soon as possible.
3. Roads will be plowed primarily during daylight hours; however, plows may be dispatched early - recommended 6 a.m. - on days of significant snowfall at the discretion of the foreman or leadman, or at any time under emergency circumstances; i.e. medical problems, severe need for food and fuel. Safety of operators will be considered in emergencies and at night.
4. In the event of wet snow, plowing of gravel roads may be delayed, unless safety factors dictate otherwise, due to potential damage to the road bed.
5. Roads will be plowed during the regular workweek giving consideration to snow fall amounts and other conditions. Roads will also be plowed on weekends and holidays when substantial snow has fallen or when conditions make travel unsafe.
6. Roads will be plowed adhering to the following priorities:
1st Priority - secondary roads and school bus routes
2nd Priority - other paved roads
3rd Priority - mail routes
4th Priority - other gravel roads depending upon need and use
7. Missile Road Emergency Snow Removal will be conducted as agreed to in the Contract Agreement.
