FORTA-FI: Making a Difference

The Technical Manager of FORTA-FI, Scott Nazar, volunteered his time by stepping outside the world of fiber reinforcement to participate in a litter pick-up day, which supported the Great American Clean-up of Pennsylvania program. The pick-up was held on April 30, 2016, near Interstate 81 in Dauphin County.

Nazar has been involved with this project for about 10 years and he has even volunteered alongside his daughters. Nazar said, "At the end of the day, the roadsides look so much better and it's great to make a positive difference in the world." 

The event was organized by Greg Penny, Community Relations Coordinator for PennDOT District 8, and was joined by members of the community, as well as the Deputy Secretary for Highway Administration. For more than 25 years, Penny has been organizing litter pick-up days. Penny focuses his efforts in Dauphin County around Lower Paxton and Susquehanna Townships.

Roadway maintenance does not stop at just repairing potholes; it goes beyond. Join us as we keep the roadways clean by disposing of trash correctly. If you would like to participate in a Great American Clean-up of Pennsylvania event, please go to www.gacofpa.org to find a group near you. The program runs until the end of May.
