National Scenic Byways Program positively impacts local communities and the US tourism industry
Champions Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) and Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) continue working to secure long-term funding for the Program in conjunction with the National Scenic Byway Foundation (NSBF).
Like all things relative to byways, advocacy is an ongoing grassroots effort. For more information on how you and your byway can support these efforts please contact Sharon Strouse at 330-231-3468 or sharon.strouse@nsbfoundation.com.
