At service areas in regions where snow accumulates in the winter months, all employees work before closing, shoveling snow to make sure that customers will be able to return home safely as part of our challenge to give citizens safe footing. In fiscal 2002, a year in which it snowed more heavily than usual, there were sometimes four to five employees outside offices shoveling snow.
Employees braved inclement weather and sometimes worked in soaked clothing in their quest to secure safe roads and sidewalks for members of their communities.
In addition to continuing to engage in snow removal on the roads and sidewalks around offices, during times of no snow, we will continue to support efforts to help local citizens with such activities as removing weeds from sidewalks.
