Snow belt roads kept open. AAA cites economic benefits
Washington January 11 The American Automobile Association reports that over 117000 miles, about half of the main travel arteries in the snow belt states, are kept clear this winter with an expenditure around 5269000. The effort aims to keep transport, food distribution, schools, and social ties functioning, with potential gains exceeding 50000000. Last winter 106721 miles were cleared with a projected 10 percent increase, and costs averaged 43.50 per mile nationwide while Wyoming's high cost skews high. The plan calls for broader state adoption of snow removal programs to sustain economy and public services. YOWAN ENDS LIFE.
