The owner must hold a snow-removal or sanding contract with a governmental agency. The permit costs $25 per vehicle initially and the operator must carry it when the light is displayed.
What to do next
- Measure your driveway so the quote matches the $30 to $110 standard-driveway per-event range or a seasonal flat rate.
- Ask each contractor for proof of insurance and, for any state highway work, current vehicle registration and CDL compliance.
- Request per-visit and seasonal pricing side by side, since seasonal contracts often run $200 to $600 on average.
