WELCOME to the WisDOT Adopt-A-Highway (AAH) program 2025 Cleanup Season and thank you for being a part of the Southwest Region AAH Team! This letter serves as your 2025 Adopt-A-Highway PERMIT and provides you with important information about how to conduct your cleanups this year. Please read the following information carefully and be sure to contact me with any questions. Your group information is provided below. Please keep this information handy and refer to your GROUP NAME, GROUP NUMBER and SITE NUMBER in your future clean-up reports and any other communications with us.

· If your group does not wish to participate in Adopt-A-Highway anymore, PLEASE fill out the “Abandon a segment” form at: Wisconsin Department of Transportation Abandon a segment - Adopt-A-Highway program (wisconsindot.gov). This will give opportunities to other groups waiting to adopt a section.
