The theme of this XIII International Winter Road Congress is: Sustainable Winter Service for Road Users.

Sustainable Winter Service begins with taking a customer and road user’s orientation regarding requirements and levels of service, and includes winter weather and transportation system impacts, information services, decision support systems, the full range of mitigation techniques and technologies, actual operations in multiple climatic and social settings, and the impacts (environmental, social, economic) of the operations.

Sustainability also includes planning and management of the entire system, along with its performance (cost-benefit) and evolution, in relation to both society and the environment.
