Winter air causes tire pressure to drop, increasing rolling resistance and fuel consumption. Check tire pressure regularly and inflate to manufacturer specs to improve fuel efficiency, handling, and overall safety on icy or snowy roads.
One of the best ways to improve fuel efficiency is to maintain a steady speed and avoid rapid acceleration or harsh braking.
• Use cruise control when road conditions allow.
• Plan routes wisely to avoid unnecessary stops and slowdowns.
Winter Maintenance Reminder: Drivers, please take extra time to inspect your equipment this season. Check your tires, batteries, brakes, fluids, and wipers before every trip. Staying on top of winter maintenance helps keep you safe and prevents costly breakdowns on the road.
Fuel-Saving Tip for Drivers:
Maintaining steady speeds is one of the most effective ways to reduce fuel consumption. Use cruise control whenever conditions allow, avoid rapid acceleration, and anticipate traffic flow to minimize unnecessary braking.
Don't forget to pack your emergency car kit! ⚠️ Here's a handy list of items to include in case of emergency. ⤵️

Because of their size and weight, trains can’t stop quickly. Use caution at all railroad crossings - always look both ways before crossing, follow the signs and signals and never try to beat a train.
