PA Stats and Facts:
The survey showed that 85.9 percent of those polled noticed litter and trash along Pennsylvania roadways and that 90.4 percent of those responding are bothered by roadside litter and trash.
The largest percentage of respondents (69.5 percent) is bothered “a lot” by the roadside litter, and 53.4 percent notice it “often”, more than any other group.
According to the results, Pennsylvania’s litter problem is not inconsequential. A total of 71.1 percent thought there was either “a lot” or “some” litter, with 31.7 percent believing there was a lot. Only 23.0 percent felt there was only a “little” litter along Pennsylvania roads.
Highway landscaping also catches people’s attention. More than 73 percent (73.2 percent) noticed landscaping along the commonwealth’s highways, with the single largest group (39.2 percent) noticing it “often.”
A majority (53.2 percent) felt that beautifying Pennsylvania’s roadways would help to improve business and tourism in Pennsylvania.
