Abstract:

Adopt-A-Highway is the North Carolina Department of Transportation's program to improve highway cleanliness. Under the plan businesses volunteer to adopt a two-mile stretch of highway and keep it litter free. In just over a year, one thousand businesses have signed up. The state puts up an Adopt A Highway sign with the name of the business keeping that particular stretch clean underneath it. First Citizens Banks leads the program with over 300 miles adopted.
