Meeting Point for each date is at the Parking Lot across from The Codorus State Park Visitor’s Center on Smith Station Rd. At least 8 volunteers are needed for each collection date in order for the job to be done efficiently. With that number of people, no one would need to serve more than 2 hours on any one of these dates.

The ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY program began as a result of citizens requesting this type program in the commonwealth. PENNDOT’S program was not the result of a legislative mandate. 49 states currently have programs in place. The program started in Texas in 1985. PA’s program started in 1990, and has become the largest program in the nation. The JSA Organization became involved in this program in 1991. We have continued performing this community service ever since, making us one of the longest-serving organizations in York County and the entire Commonwealth.
AGREEMENT NUMBER: 084361
The Codorus State Park is pleased to have the JSA’s help in keeping our park looking its’ best. The 3490 acre park provides many recreational opportunities. Recent statistics show that the number of park visitors in a year has exceeded over 1.4 MILLION. In 2015, Codorus State Park had an Eagle Cam that was viewed by 1.5 MILLION people around the world! The number of vehicles that travel on Route 216 thru the park is over 4 MILLION per year.
