MnDOT applauds Adopt a Highway volunteers

Now that spring has arrived, thousands of Adopt-a-Highway volunteers across Minnesota are helping to beautify roadsides and save taxpayers the litter removal costs.

This is National Volunteer Week and the Minnesota Department of Transportation thanked its many volunteers for making a difference in their communities.

MnDOT extends its thanks to the dedicated volunteers and their organizations who participate in the Adopt-a-Highway program, Bob Busch, MnDOT District 3 engineer, said in a news release.

MnDOT asks motorists to drive with extra caution and care when coming upon volunteers picking up roadside debris.
