UPDATED: To correct the Adopt-A-Highway link
The Maryland Adopt-A-Highway program has a new website and features, making it easier and more efficient than ever for community groups and small businesses to help keep Maryland’s highways litter free. The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration’s new Adopt-A-Highway website includes an interactive map that allows participants to track their cleanup projects, report the number of bags of trash collected and upload photos of their sites showing before cleanup and after cleanup comparisons. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for participants with varied technical skills.
Additional Information:
“The State Highway Administration recognizes attractive highways create a positive image and enhance Marylanders’ quality of life,” said State Highway Administrator Will Pines. “Our Adopt-A-Highway program has always encouraged Marylanders to play an active role in this process. With our new website and other features, we’re making it easier than ever for groups to contribute to the beautification of Maryland.
Updates also include a paperless system designed to streamline the adoption process and improve program administration, efficiency and transparency. The goal of the updates is to make it easier for participants to get involved and stay engaged with minimal effort.
The State Highway Administration invites all community groups and small businesses to participate in the Adopt-A-Highway program and help keep Maryland beautiful. For more information and to apply, visit the new Adopt-A-Highway website.
As always, highway users are reminded to always put trash in proper receptacles and secure loads to prevent litter and debris from flying out of the back of trucks.
