The Adopt-A-Highway program has proven to be quite successful for removing trash along our highways.  Perhaps we could use a similar approach for road repair.  Corporations and community organizations could sponsor the maintenance of various stretches highways.  But, instead of picking up trash, they could go out with a couple of buckets of “cold patch” and fill in some pot holes.  And, if the corporations are large enough, they could even pay for a mile or two of new asphalt.
