| Abstract | In the fall of 1987, widespread enthusiasm for expanding the network of scenic byways across American caused more than 30 organizations, including the American Recreation Coalition, to join together to sponsor the first national conference on scenic byways. The sponsors, compromised of national highway, tourism, recreation and conservation groups, saw the need to draw together federal, state and local interests to discuss the future of scenic byways. The President's Commission on Americans Outdoors had recently released its final report, which said that pleasure driving was a major recreational activity and recommended increased efforts to designate, protect and enhance scenic and historic roadways. In addition, a major initiative to develop a consensus on the nation's transportation priorities in preparation for discussions on the reauthorization of the 1991 highway bill was beginning. Scenic byways interests, the sponsors believed, would benefit greatly from the opportunity to share expertise and discuss common issues in a national forum. |
