A Plan Unveiled: The U.S. Bicycle Route System
A year ago, the American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials (AASHTO) approved a national corridor plan for an
official U.S. Bicycle Route System. The plan is a blueprint for an
urban/suburban/rural network of bicycle routes connecting all parts of the
continental U.S. - potentially the largest cycling network in the world.
Now, some states are starting to turn the plan into reality by defining
new U.S. routes and levying support from all levels of transportation and
government. Adventure Cycling Association, a non-profit bicycle organization
which provides staff support for the project, helps coordinate information
between state and local agencies, cycling interests, and the national AASHTO
Task Force on U.S. Bicycle Routes.
