Washoe County Roads is talented, but the best service is done in partnership with the community. While the crew is focused on public roads and access, residents also play a key role in keeping our community safe. How fast and efficient we complete snow control measures is largely dependent on support within our community. If each of us did the following, countless hours would be saved removing snow and ice from our roadways.
