What this tracks
This dataset tracks sections of Tennessee highways adopted by volunteer groups through the state’s Adopt-A-Highway program.
Why it matters to you
Knowing which groups maintain specific highway stretches helps you report litter problems more effectively to TDOT. If you regularly commute on SR050 between mile markers 17.7 and 20, you can check whether that section has an active adopter before contacting authorities about debris. Businesses near adopted stretches may also coordinate with volunteer groups for joint cleanup events.
