Want to Join America's Byways®? Let the Nominations Begin!
If you are planning to nominate your byway for possible designation by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, information you provide will require that you look at your byway through the eyes of the traveler.
Designation: What Should We Expect After Solicitation?
To be part of the America's Byways® brand, your byway needs to convey its distinction beyond paper and translate that distinction into an experience enjoyed by travelers.
America's Byways® Designation: Quality or Quantity?
As you begin compiling information about your byway in preparation for nomination, keep your eye on quality more so than quantity. Quality is as important to the preparation of your nomination as it is for the integrity of your byway, the significance of Intrinsic Quality(s), and the authenticity of the visitors' experience.
