January 17, 2021 Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) snowplows now will have a special and personal touch on the department s interactive Mi Drive map. Inspired in part by TrafficScotland.org, MDOT has started giving snowplows unique and creative names on the Mi Drive map. Current names include Plowasaurus Rex, Sir Salts-A-Lot, and Snowboni, and were chosen from hundreds of public offerings.
Yes, Plowy McPlowface is on the list.
Among the submissions were three special names: Tiger, Chill Bill, and Frosty, all from Roxane Gilbert s 5th Grade students at Fair Plain East Elementary in Benton Harbor. Tiger, the school s mascot, is now the name of one of the plows along M-63 near the school.
