What is Adopt-A-County Road?
The goal is to keep Washtenaw County roadsides attractive for residents and visitors. Participants chose a stretch of roadway (paved, county primary roads only) they would like to see kept clean and adopt it.
Who can participate?
Any group or organization with seven or more volunteers may participate. Group participants must be at least 18 years old
What is required to participate?
Adopt at least a two mile section of roadway.
Schedule three clean ups a year.
Follow all safety guidelines & procedures.
Notify the Road Commission when you have completed a clean up.
How does your group benefit by adopting a road?
Aside from the pride you will feel from helping your community, two road signs will be installed on the adopted road publicizing your organization name. The Road Commission will also provide a one time supply of bags, and orange safety vests.
How are the roads assigned?
Your group requests a specific road segment on your application and the Washtenaw County Road Commission will attempt to match your preference on a first come/first served basis.
Why do you need a permit?
The permit helps track which roads have been adopted. It is also provides documentation to us that all groups have received the required safety information, provided by the Road Commission, to make your clean up as safe as possible. Click for the 2016 Adopt-A-County-Road permit.
How much does it cost to Adopt-A-County Road?
