ABOUT BYWAYS 101
America’s Byways Resource Center, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), developed Byways 101 as an online education and training curriculum to introduce byway basics. Learn key information and skills essential to building sustainable byways—or refresh your byway knowledge.
A TOOLKIT FOR ALL BYWAY PRACTITIONERS
Byways 101 covers fundamental information to help byway practitioners of all skill levels to develop sound byway management strategies, including:
- New byway organizations or individuals joining the byway community
- Experienced byway leaders and volunteers looking to enhance their byway efforts
- Byway groups considering designation of their route within the National Scenic
Byways Program or a State, Federal lands or Indian tribe byway program - State, Federal or Indian tribe scenic byway coordinators developing and managing their scenic byway programs
BYWAYS 101 COVERS THE FUNDAMENTALS & MORE
Based on practices and principles that have evolved since the National Scenic Byways Program’s inception in 1991, Byways 101 uses four sequential Parts to cover important byway topics.
The majority of information reflects the National Scenic Byways Program Interim Policy. Byways seeking designation as a National Scenic Byway or All-American Road will find Byways 101 especially useful.
If you are not seeking national designation under the National Scenic Byways Program, you will certainly find helpful information in Byways 101. However, we recommend that you also check with your State, Federal lands, or Indian tribe byway program for specific criteria relating to those programs.
