Abstract	MDOT's Adopt-A-Highway Program was established in 1990 to improve the beauty of our highway roadsides with community help. Sponsoring groups participate in litter pickups along their "adopted" stretch of roadway three times per year. MDOT provides the groups with trash bags, orange safety vests and MDOT arranges for pick up of the filled bags. Since 1990, Adopt-a-Highway local groups have collected over a million bags of trash. Currently 3,000 groups are participating in the program and have adopted over 6,900 miles of Michigan highways. This website explains the program, provides news on current status of the program, forms for applying to the program.
