23 Years (1988-2011)
The Adopt-A-Highway Program (AAH) was established in 1988 by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) in response to growing public concern regarding litter along the state's highways. The AAH Program is administered by the NCDOT Office of Beautification Programs, and is a joint effort between community volunteers and the NCDOT. Its purpose is to decrease the amount of litter on North Carolina's roadsides and improve the beauty and quality of the environment.

Help Reduce Water Pollution Along N.C. Highways:
The NCDOT Division of Highways has established the Illicit Connection and Illegal Dumping (ICID) program to comply with the Department's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Permit.
By reporting pollutants we will be able to achieve our goal in protecting the water quality in our lakes, rivers, streams and coastal waters for current and future use.
The ICID program is administered by the NCDOT Office of Beautification Programs and the Hydraulic Unit. The ICID is designed to utilize the resources of the Adopt-A-Highway program and NC Department of Correction inmates to report pollution sightings.
