In VDOT's 12-county Salem transportation district, groups, organizations and individuals have adopted 1,631 miles of road for litter control, and each adopter has been encouraged to participate in the April 22 Spring Cleanup. The following chart shows how many miles have been adopted from the total number of roadway miles in each county in the district. Without their help, VDOT's work crews would be spending more time cleaning and less time repairing Virginia's roads. We all benefit from the volunteers' efforts, yet we need more miles adopted and fewer people littering. Virginia's program began in 1988.
Many miles are available for adoption.
