After nearly 400 creative name submissions and more than 2,100 votes cast statewide, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation is proud to announce the winners of its Snowplow Naming Contest.

From “Clearopathra” to “Snowbi Won Kenobi,” students across Oklahoma put their imagination to work to give personality to 24 snowplows that will hit the roads this winter. The winning names will appear on ODOT’s online snowplow tracker at OKSnowPlows.org, launching Oct. 27, where residents can follow plow activity during winter weather.

“We were so impressed by the creativity and enthusiasm Oklahoma students showed in this contest,” said Caitlyn Carolus, contest manager and ODOT Traffic Operations Center Program Manager. “Our crews work long hours in tough winter conditions to keep highways safe for the traveling public, and this contest is a fun way to recognize their dedication while connecting students and families to the important work they do.”
