In order to increase public awareness of the maintenance needs of the state highway and airport systems, improve the aesthetics of state highways and airports, and maximize the use of taxpayer revenue, it is the policy of the Texas Transportation Commission to encourage public participation in the maintenance, landscaping, and beautification of the state highway and airport systems through the creation of programs whereby local governments and private entities may adopt sections of the state highway system or airports for litter pickup, routine maintenance, landscaping, and beautification. The sections under this subchapter govern the operation of these programs.
