Support America's Scenic Byways

Loading....

Ask your U.S. Representative to support scenic byways and join the America the Beautiful Caucus today!

Congress will soon be taking action on H.R. 5158, a bill to direct the Secretary of Transportation to reopen the National Scenic Byways Program to new nominations. Scenic byways both protect America’s scenic and historic places and contribute to strong local economies. A recent survey found that 44 state scenic byways in 24 states are prepared to seek designation as National Scenic Byways!

This bill came out of the bipartisan America the Beautiful Caucus, which consists of Members of Congress who care about our country's visual environment and want to take action in support of our scenic landscapes. The more Members in the Caucus the more influential it will be, so ask your Representative to join today!

U.S. House of Representatives

Subject: Please co-sponsor H.R. 5158 and support scenic byways

Message:

I am writing to ask that you please co-sponsor H.R. 5158, a bill to reopen nominations to the National Scenic Byways Program, which has been inactive for 6 years. National Scenic Byways recognize and help protect historic, scenic and culturally significant roads across the country. The designation brings substantial recognition and economic benefits to nearby communities by attracting visitors who spend money on local businesses and services. However, the lack of federal support for the program is jeopardizing the continued viability of these special roads and their roles as economic engines. A recent survey found that 44 byways in 24 states are prepared to seek designation as National Scenic Byways as soon as the program is restarted. The Federal Highway Administration has stated that reopening this program would not require any additional funding -- it simply requires approval from Congress! I therefore strongly support reopening the National Scenic Byways Program. I also am requesting that you consider joining the bipartisan America the Beautiful Caucus. Founded and co-chaired by Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) and Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX), the Caucus supports efforts to promote the preservation and enhancement of the visual character of our country. Contact Ross Brennan in Rep. Cicilline's office or Michael Edwards in Rep. Poe's office to join the Caucus. I look forward to hearing how you will act on these matters. Sincerely,

Remaining:
