  • Abstract:
    This report presents a discussion of issues, costs, and recommendations from a study of the feasibility of developing a national scenic highway system. It was carried out in accordance with the provisions of section 134(a) of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1973. The report was prepared by the Federal Highway Administration and draws heavily upon work of the contractor, The Institute for Analysis and Fact Research Incorporated, and the advice and guidance of an advisory committee composed of members from the U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Department of Agriculture, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and the Commission on Highway Beautification. It is based on information provided by 49 States, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Other public and private groups were also consulted in the preparation of the report. The report identifies five major issue areas regarding scenic highways. These include national designation, corridor protection and scenic enhancement, complementary facilities, urban emphasis and energy efficiency, and national connectivity.
