Litter Enforcement Corridors Press Events – PennDOT, Pennsylvania State Police and Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful held several press events around the state to promote Litter Enforcement Corridors, the importance of litter prevention and how residents can keep their communities clean and beautiful.

Litter enforcement corridors were established as part of Act 62 of 2018, which increased fines for littering on roads designated for stronger litter enforcement. The act also increased safety protocols for clean-up areas, mandating that drivers yield the right of way as they would in a construction zone.
