You can always go downtown.
The Louisville Downtown Partnership Ambassador Program annually cleans ~120,000 pounds of litter from the 25+ miles of downtown Louisville sidewalk, but that’s not all they do.
If you’re ever downtown and in need of a helping hand, the Ambassador Program is almost always around — just look for the orange shirts.
Here’s a snapshot of the program:
- Began serving downtown Louisville in 1995
- Provides hospitality assistance for over 9,300 downtown visitors each year
- Annually remove ~1,500 graffiti tags + stickers
- Sidewalk power washing
- Weed removal from downtown spaces
- Hang signage and banners, including over 500 for the Kentucky Derby alone
If you ever need some help — think: you need directions, you’ve spotted some litter that needs attention, or if you would like someone to escort you to your car — call the Ambassador Hotline at 502-664-8654 daily, from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m.
