Snow Haul Volume
How to use this tool
View truck transaction and snow volume data by season. The dashboard tracks the total number of truck trips, estimated snow volume hauled in cubic metres, and identifies peak hauling periods within each winter season. Compare seasons to see how snowfall amounts translate into hauling operations.
Why it matters
Montreal hauls millions of cubic metres of snow to disposal sites every winter, a massive logistical operation that affects traffic, air quality, and the city budget. Knowing when peak hauling periods occur helps residents plan around road closures and parking bans. The data also illustrates the environmental scale of snow management in a northern city and why permeable surfaces and proper property grading matter for reducing the overall snow management burden.
