Keep Louisiana Clean and Green!
| LA DOTD's Adopt-a-Road
program enlists volunteers to remove litter and
debris from state and federal roadsides. While
saving taxpayer dollars, the program provides recognition for participating
groups and organizations, promotes civic responsibility and pride, makes the
public aware of the problem and helps keep
Louisiana Clean and Green! Note: As of August 2003, there are 678 Adopt-a-road groups responsible for approximately 1205 miles of highway. |
