The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) offers the Adopt-A-Highway program, which allows civic-minded groups and businesses to actively participate in keeping the state's highways clean and litter-free. Since its inception in 1989, the program has seen the involvement of various organizations, including churches, clubs, families, and youth groups. Incentives in the form of stipends are now available for groups that actively participate in the program, with a stipend of $190 per highway section, encouraging more organizations to contribute to the cause.
By adopting a highway, groups have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the environment, save tax dollars, and contribute to their community and the state of Kansas. The program requires participating groups to commit to removing litter at least three times a year for a two-year period, ensuring the highways remain clean and free from pollution. Eligible groups include non-profit organizations, schools, social organizations, and city, county, or state agencies, with the requirement that group members be at least 11 years old and have adequate adult supervision.
