Adopt a Highway Program in Sumter County

Every year thousands of visitors get their first glimpse of our County from their car window as they travel our roads. First impressions can be lasting. Do we want them to see miles of roadway cluttered with litter? Or clean, green tree lined roads that represent the County’s natural beauty?

Since February 1996, Sumter County’s Adopt-A-Highway program has helped improve the appearance of county rights-of way throughout Sumter County. The program has reduced the cost of litter removal. Efforts from organizations and individuals participating in the program, eases the load on our road crews, enabling them to devote more time to road maintenance and special road projects.
