Each spring, the Clear Roads Technical Advisory Committee meets to review research proposals and select new projects for funding. This year, the committee selected five projects:

• Comprehensive Guide to Pre-wetting Application Rates and Methods
• Best Management Practices for Liquid Chloride Storage and Pumping Systems
• Effects of Additives in Lowering the Freezing Point of Deicing Salts
• Evaluation of Direct Liquid Application of Salt Brine vs. Granular Salt as Measured Through Various Performance and Safety Metrics
• Use of Dashboards for Winter Operations

More information about these projects is available in the 2022 All Proposed Projects summary.

. Requests for investigator proposals for the new projects will be posted this summer.

The agenda, budget and minutes from the spring meeting are available on the Clear Roads Meetings page.
