The provincial government is hoping to make winter travel safer for everyone with the release of a snowplow tracking system.

Transportation Minister Lisa Naylor has announced the launch of "Track My Plow", which will provide real-time plowing updates on Manitoba 511.

Users will be able to track active snowplows with this new feature, along with identifying where they have been over the previous two hours.

The province said that when combined with road conditions and closures, the tracking system will help Manitobans make informed decisions regarding travel.

Naylor said Track My Plow, which is available on Manitoba 511's website and smartphone app, with save drivers time while also improving the safety of Manitoba roads during the winter.
