The Capital Region cut road salt use by 10% to protect water and infrastructure, using smarter methods like pre-treatment and targeted applications.
The Capital Region is reducing road salt use to address environmental harm and last winter’s shortages, with cities like Johnstown using pre-treatment brine, targeted applications, and "hot loads" to cut usage.
Statewide, salt use dropped to 174 pounds per lane mile from 192, driven by a 2023 study linking runoff to water pollution and infrastructure damage.
While dry salt remains essential in severe storms, officials stress balancing safety with sustainability, avoiding both overuse and under-treatment.
Some towns spent contingency funds to restock after shortages.
