Plain-English Summary

This bill would officially designate Route 66 as a National Historic Trail, giving it the same protected status as other historically significant trails across the country. The designation would help preserve the famous highway's cultural and historical landmarks while potentially increasing tourism and funding for restoration projects along the route that stretches from Chicago to Los Angeles. States and communities along Route 66 would gain federal support and resources to maintain and promote the trail's historical significance.
