How did the Corridor Plan originate?
The concept for the National Corridor Plan was developed by AASHTO, through guidance from the Technical Committee on Nonmotorized Transportation, the Subcommittee on Traffic Engineering, and the vision of AASHTO staff. See the AASHTO Fact Sheet to learn about the six-phase plan. Though no new U.S. Bicycle Routes have been established in recent years, AASHTO recognized that this was probably due to the lack of a plan and facilitated communication between states. There is growing evidence that there is demand for such a system: the Adventure Cycling Route Network has grown to include more than 38,000 mapped miles of routes in the U.S. and Canada and there are national and provincial networks developing in countries across the world with great success.
