Wisconsin is facing a revenue shortfall because of general economic conditions two years into a three-year trial of winter maintenance concept vehicles. The program is similar to programs in Iowa, Minnesota and Michigan. Three of the high-tech trucks hit the Wisconsin roads in winter 1999-2000; four more joined the program in 2000-01; one more was added this winter. The trouble is that this winter has been so mild the state has not had much of a chance to test the equipment in severe weather.
