Idaho is a beautiful state and many citizens volunteer their time to maintain Idaho’s roadways.
The Idaho Transportation Department Volunteer Services Program allows groups to commit to picking up litter along a two-mile stretch of highway twice yearly and deposit it in bags provided by ITD.
The Idaho Transportation Department maintenance crews gather the bagged litter for disposal.
Volunteer groups are recognized for their service to the community with signage posted at the beginning of their chosen road segment.
There is no cost to participate in the program.
ITD supplies the group with loaned safety vests, trash bags and highway signage advising traffic there is a litter pick up activity currently underway on the roadside.
Over the years, the Adopt-a-Highway program has accounted for millions of dollars in savings that were then redirected to highway construction and needed maintenance to improve highways and bridges.
