Assessment of Salt Procurement and Distribution Process
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has released a report that identifies current practices pertaining to winter maintenance, particularly in the procurement of rock salt, throughout the state of Ohio. ODOT uses several thousand tons of salt per year to keep its roads safe from icy conditions, and recently there has been extreme salt pricing as a result of the current bid process. This research was conducted in order to recommend cost-saving processes for ODOT’s winter maintenance.
