Right now our plows are being used for leaf collection, pothole repair and other duties.

When a snow event begins, you can use the Track Our Plows map to see where plows are located.

When a snow emergency is declared:

Do not park along snow emergency routes.
Vehicles parked along emergency routes are subject to a $250 fine and towing & impoundment fees.
DPW no longer relocates vehicles in neighborhoods.
Call (202) 541-6083 to locate a towed vehicle.
