Since 1988, Alabama
PALS has partnered with the Alabama Department of
Transportation to coordinate the
Alabama
Adopt A Mile Program. Over 1,900 miles of
Alabama
roadways are being cleaned and maintained by volunteers in
every corner of Alabama
. This statewide program is truly a testament to the saying
"We Are Making A Difference."
Adopt A Mile signs with the
participating group name are provided through ALDOT, as well as trash bags for
each cleanup. All applications are processed through the PALS office and then
sent to ALDOT for sign production. If the adopted mile is on a
US
or
Alabama
highway, ALDOT erects the sign on the designated mile.
If the adopted mile is on a County road
or highway, ALDOT provides the sign, but the erecting of the sign is the
responsibility of the county.
All signs, bags and posts are
provided at no cost to each adoptee.
The participation in this and other
volunteer programs save the taxpayers of
Alabama
millions of dollars each year in cleanup costs.
For an Adopt A Mile Application Form, Please Call
Alabama PALS at 1 800 ALAPALS.
