<p>DUNMORE &#8212; PennDOT is inviting the public to vote on six plows decorated by local high school students as part of its &#8220;Paint the Plow&#8221; program.</p><p>It&#8217;s part of a statewide outreach aimed at promoting winter driving safety and fostering appreciation for high school art programs.</p><p>Earlier this year, PennDOT invited high school students to paint plow blades based on the regional theme &#8220;511pa.com &#8211; Know Before You Go.&#8221;</p><p>The theme was chosen to draw attention to PennDOT&#8217; s website &#8212; www.511pa.com &#8212; which features information on roadway conditions, travel speeds, and plow-truck routes. Many schools created artwork that was centered on the importance of slowing down during the winter, and on keeping a safe distance from plow trucks.</p><p>Teens from Hazleton Area High School, Pittston Area High School, Wallenpaupack Area High School, Blue Ridge High School, Mountain View Jr./Sr. High School and Susquehanna Community High School participated.</p><p>Students, teachers and the public can vote for their favorite plow through the PennDOT Facebook page @PennsylvaniaDepartmentofTransportation. Just go to the District 4 photo album.</p><p>The plow photo that receives the most &#8220;reactions&#8221; through Oct. 31 at 5 p.m. will be deemed the &#8220;Fan Favorite.&#8221; Each &#8220;reaction,&#8221; &#8212; regardless of what it is &#8212; will count as one vote.</p><p>For more information on winter safety, go to PennDOT.gov/Winter.</p><style>
