Volunteer Litter Pickup Agreement

As the authorized representative of my group, I hereby agree to the following conditions of participation in the Omnitrans Adopt-a-Stop Volunteer Litter Pickup Program and to ensure compliance by all Group representatives, agents and employees.

To serve as the single point of contact between the above-named Group and Omnitrans.
To serve as the coordinator of all volunteers in the above-named Group and ensure that the Groupâs responsibilities are fulfilled according to this agreement.
To submit a signed Liability Waiver form for each individual participant, signed by participantâs parent or legal guardian if participant is under 18 years of age.
To clean and maintain the adopted stop and nearby walkways, a minimum of once per week or more frequently if needed in order to prevent litter and other debris from accumulating and becoming a nuisance.
To adhere to the Adopt-a-Stop Volunteer Safety Guidelines, as may be updated from time to time and are available on the Omnitrans Adopt-a-Stop webpage.
To pick up any litter, trash, and debris, and dispose of it in the proper receptacle. If there is no space in the trash receptacle at the Adopt-a-Stop bus stop location, volunteers are requested to dispose of it at the nearest legal trash receptacle. If there is nowhere to safely and legally dispose of it, Omnitrans coordinator should be contacted at AdoptAStop@Omnitrans.org. The bagged trash can be left by the side of the bus stop (where it is out of the path of any pedestrians or wheelchairs), and Omnitrans will pick it up.
To contact the Omnitrans Adopt-a-Stop Coordinator at AdoptAStop@Omnitrans.org immediately to report graffiti, suspicious packages, or hazardous or illegal items at or near the bus stop.
To contact the Omnitrans Adopt-a-Stop Coordinator within one day (24 hours) to report any injuries that occur at the bus stop while performing volunteer duties.
To agree not to make any alterations to the bus stop sign, shelter, bench, other amenities, or surrounding sidewalk.

Omnitrans agrees to the following:

Provide supplies such as trash bags, gloves, safety vests, and litter pickup sticks, to the Group Representative, in sufficient quantity for all members of Group. (Safety vests, gloves, and litter pick-up sticks are one-time-only in the amount of one per individual volunteer. Trash bags can be restocked by contacting AdoptAStop@Omnitrans.org.)
Respond within two days to all calls for assistance with hazardous items and graffiti abatement.
After two months of successful adoption, place an Adopt-A-Stop sign featuring the adopting organizationâs name at the bus stop, as well as on Omnitransâ website, social media, and other publicity materials.
If the recognition sign is damaged, Omnitrans may have to remove it. Omnitrans will make its best effort to replace the damaged sign within two weeks in consideration of available budget.
Coordinate publicity efforts with the Adopter.

As the authorized Group Representative, I hereby certify that I am 18 years of age or older, and that I am willing and able to fulfill the above-listed responsibilities on behalf of my Group.

I recognize that the Adopt-A-Stop program and its recognition signs are not a forum for advertisement or public discourse. Signs will display only the name and/or logo of the individual, organization, agency, or business providing the adoption service.

I also recognize that both Omnitrans and I, as my Groupâs Representative, have the right to terminate this agreement with 30 daysâ written notice. Upon termination, Omnitrans will remove my Groupâs name from all recognition materials. Omnitrans also reserves the right to terminate this agreement with less than 30 daysâ notice if Omnitrans deems termination as necessary and urgent due to a safety concern or due to budget constraints.
