BALTIMORE, MD—The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) this week announced updates to its Adopt-A-Highway program, aiming to make it easier for community groups and businesses to participate in keeping Maryland’s highways clean.
The program now features a new website with an interactive map, streamlined application process, and enhanced communication tools.
The interactive map allows participants to track their cleanup projects, record the number of trash bags collected, and share before-and-after photos of their work. The website is designed to be user-friendly and accessible for participants with varying technical skills.
“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.”
The updates also include a paperless system designed to streamline the adoption process and improve program administration, efficiency and transparency.
MDOT SHA encourages community groups and small businesses to participate in the Adopt-A-Highway program. Visit the new Adopt-A-Highway website for more information and to apply.
