In late March, the form to apply for the Adopt-a-Highway litter pick-up program moved online to better service customers, as did the request for litter-patrol equipment (safety vests, traffic-control signs and trash bags) as well as the reporting of litter-patrol results after the event.
The website also shows in real time the route segments available across the state – a task that previously was based on a spreadsheet that was frequently out-of-date.
A group can also renew their contract, expand their assigned route, and modify the group’s name or contact info online.
In the past, the forms for approximately 1,000 groups in the AAH program were all paper-based, relied on snail mail and manual inputs into an antiquated database, and the process was time-consuming.
Adopt-a-Highway Statewide Coordinator Judi Conner said it was often frustrating and the paper-based processes were expensive.
The change is also expected to save valuable time.
