Assign-a-Highway Program

SUMMARY

The Assign-A-Highway Program assigns non-violent probationers to pick litter on various state-maintained Northern Neck roads. Probationers can thus fulfill their community-service obligations. District courts in Lancaster, Northumberland, Richmond, and Westmoreland Counties participate in the program, which was created in January 2007.

TONS PICKED & FUNDS SAVED
