The Arkansas Department of Transportation announced the launch of a new website for its Adopt-A-Highway program, coinciding with the annual Spring Clean-Up Week, which takes place March 14-20.
The new website is designed to make it easier for Arkansans to participate in keeping state roadways and rights-of-way clean. The platform allows the public to view current Adopt-A-Highway volunteer locations across Arkansas, identify opportunities to participate, and submit requests to adopt a segment of highway.
“This new website reflects our commitment to making it as simple as possible for Arkansans to engage with the Adopt-A-Highway program,” Jared D. Wiley, Director at the Arkansas Department of Transportation, said. “The easier we make it for people to find opportunities and sign up, the more volunteers we can put along our highways. Cleaner roadways enhance the natural beauty of our state. Every Arkansan who wants to contribute has a place in this effort.”
Throughout Spring Clean-Up Week, ARDOT will focus on litter awareness and education and encourage participation in anti-litter efforts. On March 17, ARDOT crews statewide will dedicate their entire workday to litter pickup along Arkansas highways.
Arkansas is working in coordination with Keep Arkansas Beautiful on this initiative. Spring Clean-Up Week takes place during Keep America Beautiful’s Great American Cleanup program.
