Every winter, snow-covered lawns and trees create a perfect backdrop for building a snowman, sledding or staying cozy inside. However, slippery driving conditions often accompany a winter wonderland, impacting many of our daily routines and responsibilities.
In preparation for the next snow season, the City of Overland Park is offering new incentives for anyone ready to keep our community safe and rescue the daily commutes of OP residents and visitors this winter.
During the 2023-2024 snow season, the City will pay snow responders:
- A static participation bonus of $100 per month from November through March.
- A pay differential for their hours worked during snow events, paid in addition to their regular wages (subject to overtime adjustment)
- CDL Driver = $14.00 per hour
- Non-CDL Driver = $7.00 per hour
- Support Staff = $3.00 per hour
With over 2,000 lane miles of streets and bridges to maintain, including more than 2,000 cul-de-sacs and 59 bridge decks, our snow plow drivers directly impact the lives of OP residents. Apply today and receive your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) and required training in as little as four weeks.
Join our team and be part of the solution that keeps Overland Park safe and accessible during the winter months, and make a positive impact on our community, ensuring that everyone can travel safely and enjoy the beauty of our city year-round.
