Adopt a Stop Program Created to Keep Orlando Beautiful

Orlando, FL - City of Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, LYNX CEO Linda Watson along with Keep Orlando Beautiful, will launch a new program to keep Orlando beautiful. On Tuesday, March 21 at 10 a.m. in front of Orlando City Hall, the "Adopt a Stop" program will be rolled out with the dedication of a LYNX designed bus.

The program encourages Orlando businesses; civic groups, and individuals to pitch in and keep LYNX bus stops clean by becoming an "Adopt a Stop" partner.

LYNX is partnering with Orlando's Keep Orlando Beautiful program, a nationally recognized program that works to ensure public spaces are clean. Supplies will be provided through the Keep Orlando Beautiful program.

"We are thrilled to work with LYNX on the Adopt a Stop program and I encourage our communityy to embrace this effort, said Mayor Dyer. "LYNX has always been an important partner to the City of Orlando, especially on programs like this that not only keep our neighborhoods clean but also build community pride."

Partners will have their company name prominently displayed on a sign at their adopted stops.

"The Adopt a Stop program is a great way for citizens, groups and businesses to participate in keeping our city streets and public areas clean," said LYNX CEO Linda Watson. "By helping us to ensure that our stops are clean and safe, the program participants are helping improve the image of their community."
