On Friday, June 23, Representatives Darin LaHood (R-IL) and Grace Napolitano (D-CA) reintroduced bipartisan legislation (H.R. 4338) that would designate Route 66 as a National Historic Trail. They were joined by Representatives Jake LaTurner (R-KS) and House Natural Resources Federal Lands Subcommittee Ranking Member Joe Neguse (D-CO) as original cosponsors.

The bill provides a unique opportunity to secure preservation for Route 66, the most culturally and internationally recognized stretch of highway in America, ahead of the Route 66 centennial celebration in 2026.

Contact your House Representative and ask them to support the bill designating the Route 66 National Historic Trail (H.R. 4338).
