How can a state have a U.S. Bicycle Route?
Any State DOT can designate a U.S. Bicycle Route as long as the entire route travels between two or more states and is nationally or regionally significant. For example, when designating U.S. Bicycle Route 76, the states of Virginia and Kentucky worked together to align the connection of the route across their common state border. States wanting to designate a specific U.S. Bicycle Route will need to submit coordinated applications to AASHTO for approval. The AASHTO Application for State DOTs to use to request the designation of a U.S. Bicycle Route will be available on-line soon.
