The website allows the public to view current Adopt-A-Highway volunteer locations across the state, 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,” ARDOT Director Jared D. Wiley 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 place a special emphasis on litter awareness and education, and on how to get involved in the anti-litter effort. On Tuesday of Spring Clean-Up Week, March 17, ARDOT will host a dedicated Spring Clean-Up Day in which crews statewide will dedicate the 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, one of the nation’s largest community beautification programs.
