Is the Highways department as frugal, with salt, and sand for winter roads in your area as they are up here in B.C Canada?

The Highways Department seems to be using less, and less, sand for icy road conditions, every year.
Is the sand hard to get?
Is it worth it’s weight in gold?
Does your area use adequate, salt and sand for icy roads in your area?
In the early 80’s B.C privatized the highways departments, and road maintenance has been going down hill ever since.
Clearly an example that some forms of privatization do not work?
