The 1990 Scenic Byways Study was a response to a Congressional initiative to identify program options for a national scenic byways program. As part of that initiative, Congress asked that case studies be conducted to illustrate the existing policies and programs and the impact of three issues on existing future programs. The three issues were the environment, traffic safety, and economic (tourist) development. This report is concerned with the elements of the last two issues and adds another important element - cost. Greenhorne and O'Mara, Inc. was asked by the Federal Highway Administration to conduct three case studies as follows: 1. Safety Issues in Scenic Byways; 2. Highway Costs for Scenic Byways; and 3. The Impact of Scenic Byways on Travel. |
