SB 753 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Establishing Adopt-A-Road program

SB 753 establishes a formal Adopt-A-Road program in West Virginia, allowing individuals, groups, counties, or municipalities to volunteer for road maintenance. The program enables participants to provide labor, equipment, and materials for tasks like litter cleanup, pothole repair, or trail restoration on state-controlled roads. Participants must apply through the Division of Highways, sign an agreement, and follow safety rules, with the state covering up to 30% of material costs (100% for litter control using a dedicated fund). The bill also permits participants to display recognition signage at their project sites and requires all volunteers to indemnify the state against liability.
