Adopt-A-Highway Program |

"The
Natural State"… We can all be proud of this well-deserved name. Your organization or civic group can help ensure we live up to that
name by participating in the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation
Department's Adopt-A-Highway program. This program provides concerned groups the opportunity to perform a
worthwhile community service that enhances our state's image and natural
beauty.
The
Adopt-A-Highway program allows volunteer groups to adopt a section of
state highway for the purpose of litter control. The object of the program is to increase public awareness of the
monumental task of managing Arkansas' rights-of-way and to promote public
involvement. With more than
100,000 acres of right-of-way to maintain along the 16,419-mile State
Highway System, litter has become a major problem. Not only does it detract from our state's natural beauty, it costs
Arkansas taxpayers nearly $4.0 million annually to pick up. The Adopt-A-Highway program provides a mechanism for concerned
citizens to address this problem and become personally involved in
improving our environment.
