Summer Travel is Here — So is Highway Litter
Summer means road trips, vacations, beach weekends, and long drives with family and friends. As more people hit the road during the busiest travel season of the year, our highways become busier than ever — and unfortunately, so does the highway litter problem.
From drink cups and fast-food packaging to cigarette butts and plastic debris, roadside litter increases dramatically during the summer months. Beyond being unsightly, litter impacts local communities, wildlife, public safety, and the overall experience for the millions of drivers traveling our roadways every day.
Clean highways matter. They create stronger first impressions for visitors, support community pride, and help preserve the beauty of the places we live and work.
That’s where Sponsor-A-Highway comes in.
Sponsor-A-Highway programs allow businesses to directly support ongoing litter removal along local highways and roadways while receiving recognition signage for their participation. It’s a simple but visible way for companies to demonstrate community leadership and environmental responsibility.
Every sponsored stretch of highway represents cleaner roads, safer communities, and a shared commitment to keeping our public spaces beautiful during the busiest driving season of the year.
As summer travel ramps up, now is the perfect time for businesses to be part of the solution. Whether you’re a local company, regional brand, or national organization, supporting cleaner highways is an investment in both your community and the people who travel through it every day.
