PHOENIX – What do you get when 10,000 volunteers remove 107 tons of litter along state highways in a year? 

First, there’s a $500,000 savings in taxpayer funds that can be used for other Arizona Department of Transportation priorities. More importantly, though, is a determination to Keep It Grand by making Arizona’s highways more appealing for all.

That makes those who commit time and effort to ADOT’s Adopt a Highway program worthy of a big thank you from all Arizonans during National Volunteer Week, which lasts through April 25.
