(Iowa) -- With winter weather just around the corner, the Iowa Department of Transportation is reminding drivers to prepare for the winter months.
The D-O-T is encouraging people to start winterizing vehicles, make a car winter emergency kit, watch for road condition updates, and wear seatbelts. The D-O-T says it's preparing as well, stocking up on salt, preparing more than a thousand full-time employees, and is in the process of hiring 633 more temporary positions.
