How do I know where rest areas are located on Illinois interstates? The Illinois Department of Transportation has provided a map that outlines where all Illinois
interstate rest areas are located. The map's key details the mile marker location as well as the
special services provided at the rest area. For a copy of this map, go to

How do I get a copy of the latest official Illinois highway map? Copies of the Illinois Official Highway map can be picked up, free of charge, at all Illinois
Welcome Centers, DOT district offices, or you can request a copy online at
http://www.dot.state.il.us/orderform.html.
How can I get involved in the Adopt-A-Highway Program? Adopt-A-Highway is a program that utilizes citizen volunteers to help keep roadsides clean. Each
volunteer or volunteer group is responsible for a two-mile stretch of highway. The individual or
group agrees to pick up litter at least four times a year for two years. Trash bags, orange vests,
and signs are provided by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
