Wooster Sponsors Crafton Blvd Cleanup Effort

At Wooster & Associates, engineering safe roadways is only part of how we care for our communities. We also believe in rolling up our sleeves and investing directly in the neighborhoods we call home.

This month, our Associates came together to clean up along Crafton Boulevard — a stretch of road Wooster proudly sponsors through PennDOT’s Adopt-A-Highway program. Crafton has been part of our story for decades, and while our headquarters are now on Pittsburgh’s North Shore, this act honors our history while we also look ahead to deeper involvement in our new neighborhood.

Armed with gloves, vests, and trash bags, our team spread out across the roadside and hillsides, scouring for litter that too often builds up in high-traffic corridors. From the shoulder of the boulevard to the steep slopes alongside it, Wooster’s Associates covered the area with determination and teamwork — filling more than a dozen bags of debris in just one day.

Leading the effort was Deputy COO Joshua Haydo, P.E., PTOE, joined by COO Jerrod Crosby, P.E., Zach Hayes, Michael Andrewsh, Lori Kirch, Sulei Swai, and Joseph Richammer, among our other Associates. Together, the team made quick work of the cleanup, turning a busy corridor into a cleaner, safer, and more welcoming roadway.

September is recognized nationally as Cleanup Month, with organizations, companies, and volunteers across the country pitching in to clear roadways, parks, and public spaces. Even the NFL is joining the movement with its “Immaculate Collection” cleanup campaign tied to the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh. With Wooster now an approved NFL Vendor for the Draft, we’re proud to stand alongside this broader effort of community stewardship.

Beyond collecting litter and debris, efforts like these help protect stormwater systems, improve roadway safety, and show pride in the places we live and work. They also reflect Wooster’s ongoing commitment to Straightforward Solutions and Unwavering Integrity — values we bring both to our projects and our public service.

We thank our Associates for their teamwork, time, and pride in our streets in Pittsburgh, and beyond!
