SANTA FE - The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) launched their first ever snowplow naming contest and New Mexicans did not disappoint! We received almost 1,600 names!
It was difficult, but NMDOT Communication staff narrowed the entries down to 50 names from the amazing submissions. NOW it is time for the public to vote on their favorites! Voting is open and will continue through Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2024, at noon! To vote, visit the NMDOT website at https://www.dot.nm.gov/ and click 'Name a NMDOT Snowplow” to pick your favorite or visit www.dot.nm.gov/name-aplow/. You can vote up to 6 times!
We know that New Mexicans are some of the most creative, funny, and witty people on the planet, but the top names are even better than we could have imagined!
