The leaders across USA include:
Missouri DOT - Continues to lead the nation by implementing TowPLows in urban and rural applications, with more than 80 in service as of 2016
MnDOT was the second state in the nation to try a TowPLow and are now adding BiDirectoinal TowPLows
Utah was the third state. They continue to operate TowPLows in and around Salt Lake and are moving ot high speed rural applications.
North Dakota continues to rapidly advance in solving today's problems. They consistantly continue to implement and were slected the state partner to develop and implement the BiDirectional TowPLow. They currently operate over 30 units and plan to continue adding many BiDi TowPLows; all being brine units. Image, brine working in ND? Well, they have learned how to make it work.
Montana has also grasped the advantages of doubling operators' abilitity to clear roads while reducing costs to plow. They continue to implement across their mountain state.
Colorado continues to implement TowPLows and are gaining further experience in harmonizing speeds to improve safety during winter operations.
Several states in the north east are using units but....... New York rapidly implemented over 60 TowPLows in one year during 2015.
There are only a few states who have not comprehended the value of using TPs. This list is available upon contacting me.
Various reports are available from several states including the AASHTO Technical Implementation Team. See User's Report tab.
