The purpose of the Metro Snow Map is to help you find out which streets around you are cleared during a snow event and get live updates on street clearing progress from the comfort of your own home.

The Louisville Metro Snow Team is made up of nearly 300 employees from three agencies – Metro Public Works, Solid Waste Management Services, and Metro Parks. The Snow Team uses 169 pieces of equipment to clear 1,362 miles of road in Louisville. The total two-lane miles covered by crews on designated snow routes equals 2,721 miles.

The Metro Snow Map focuses on major roads, school and TARC bus routes, arteries to local employers, and hospital and emergency routes.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and private contractors clear more than 700 miles. There are about 1,000 miles of neighborhood streets that are not cleared, except during a declared snow emergency.
