Help Delco Schools In PennDOT's Paint the Plow Contest

DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — Two schools in Delaware County are in the running for PennDOT's “Paint the Plow” program, and they need your help in the contest.

"Paint the Plow" is a statewide outreach program aimed at promoting winter driving safety and fostering appreciation for high school art programs. This is the second year the contest has taken place in the District 6.

The public is invited to vote on 13 plows decorated by high school students in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties.

Ridley High School and the Delaware County Technical High School are in the running.

You can vote for the schools here.

Earlier this year, PennDOT invited Philadelphia region high school students to paint plow blades based on the statewide theme "Don't Rush in Ice and Slush."

The safety theme was chosen to draw attention to the need for motorists to give themselves ample time, and slow down during wintry weather.

The plow that receives the most votes between Monday, Nov. 11, through Sunday, Nov. 17, will be deemed PennDOT District 6’s "Fan Favorite."

During the winter weather season, the blades will be used to maintain area roadways.

Along with the "Fan Favorite" award, the blades are also eligible for the "Judges' Pick" honor that will be determined by PennDOT personnel.
