Why it matters for paint
Commute Time and Salt Exposure
The average one-way commute from Rockton is 25.1 minutes, and 80.1% of workers here drive alone rather than carpool or take transit. That's longer than the Winnebago County average of 24.6 minutes, and 30.7% of Rockton commuters are on the road 30 minutes or more each way. More minutes on the road each winter day is more minutes under road spray, not just what lands on the car while it's parked.
IDOT put down 312,000 tons of salt on Illinois roads statewide in the 2023-2024 winter alone. Rockton's threshold for plowing and salting is 2 inches, and that salt doesn't distinguish a driveway from a street once it's kicked up as spray. It sits on anything parked at the curb until it's washed off, or shed by a coating built to resist it.
