Various benefits are produced while performing winter maintenance operations. However, in many respects, these benefits remain identified and understood only in a vague sense. Therefore, this chapter will summarize the current knowledgebase as it relates to winter maintenance benefits, going beyond simply listing what they are and delving into their quantified values (when available). It will further examine how that information can be used in cost‐benefit analysis to justify future expenditures. In doing so, the chapter will provide winter maintenance practitioners with a better understanding of how the work they perform benefits the traveling public and equip them to better communicate such information to decision‐makers, legislators and the public in general.
