HARRISBURG, Pa. (CBS) -- Travel experts from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation want the public to be ready for the upcoming winter season. PennDOT, along with other agencies, held a press conference on Thursday in Harrisburg to outline the state's plans for winter services and highlight tools the public can use to be prepared before they hit the road.

The public can access this travel information year round and find plow-truck locations during the winter.
