Decisions to achieve sustainable winter road maintenance range from operational and tactical, such as selection of snow/ice control materials and application rates, to strategic, such as placement of maintenance yards and selection of maintenance vehicles. This chapter focuses on the former, covering the best sustainability practices in the domain of source control tactics. Specifically, the chapter provides a general discussion on: innovative snow fences for drift control; anti‐icing, deicing, and pre‐wetting practices; decision‐support systems; fixed automated spray technology (FAST); equipment maintenance and calibration; advanced snowplows and spreaders; and material and snow storage.
