SANTA FE — The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) launched the snowplow naming contest for its second year, and now we’re inviting New Mexicans to vote on their favorite names. Voting is open and will continue through Friday, January 10, 2025, at noon.

To vote for your favorite visit: www.dot.nm.gov/name-a-plow/ or scan the QR code:

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. We received almost 700 submissions. NMDOT communication staff narrowed the entries down to 50 creative and fun names. It’s now time for the public to vote on their favorites.

Once voting has wrapped up, the top 12 names will be announced, assigned to trucks, and winners will receive bragging rights for a lifetime.

These trucks play an important role in keeping our communities connected and our roads safe during the winter months—so let’s give them names that reflect their importance and a bit of local flavor.
