Florida Department of Transportation - Office of Maintenance Adopt-A-Highway Program

Welcome to Florida’s Adopt-A-Highway Program

Program Manager ------ Stephen E. Liner

The Purpose

Every year millions of visitors get their first glimpse of our state from their car windows as they travel along Florida’s Highways. First impressions can be long lasting. Do we want them to see miles of roadway cluttered with litter? Or clean, green tree-lined highways that truly represent Florida’s natural beauty? The choice is an easy one:

Adopt-A-Highway…

The Pledge

Volunteers enter into a two-year agreement with DOT, during which they agree to conduct litter removal at regularly scheduled intervals. Many miles of highway are adopted statewide by various organizations, allowing civic-minded people to make a difference in their communities. This eases the load of DOT work crews, enabling them to devote more time to other road maintenance and special highway projects.

Volunteers Agree to:

"Adopt" a two-mile section of a State Highway
Dedicate two years to the program
Follow specified DOT safety regulations
Remove litter a minimum of four times each year

FDOT Agree to:

Assist with safety meetings
Provide safety vests and litter bags
Pick up litter at specified locations
Post Adopt-a-Highway signs commending the group at the beginning and end of their section
