On Thursday, the department outlined its preparations and equipment ahead of the winter travel season.
PennDOT says it has $27.6 million to service Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties this winter.
The department also has 182 state-owned plow trucks and a snow blower that can move up to 1,200 tons of snow per hour.
Officials say drivers in our area can start preparing now for winter weather.
PennDOT also introduced a new online tool at 511PA.com.
Drivers can use the tool to view a color-coded map of when each of the nearly 40,000 miles of state-maintained roadway was last plowed.
