MDOT now accepting applications for its Paint the Plow program!

High school students, listen up! This is an opportunity for you to showcase your creativity.

The Michigan Department of Transportation's Paint the Plow program is now open to all high schools in Michigan, including technical and vocational programs.

The program invites students to submit a creative and original design that reflects their school while promoting a selected safety theme.

This year's safety theme is "Go hands-free. Just drive. It's the law."

This theme reminds motorists that it is illegal to hold and use an electronic device while driving in Michigan.

MDOT will accept Paint the Plow design applications until Friday, May 17.

Selected schools will be notified before the end of the 2024 school year, and arrangements will be made for the delivery of their plow blade in the fall. Depending on their location in the state, schools will have approximately six weeks to complete their design before MDOT staff returns for the completed plow blade in time to ready trucks for the winter maintenance season. Painted plow blades will be visible along various state trunklines in Michigan throughout the winter.
