Designating Route 66 as a National Historic Trail will have a significant economic impact in the eight states along the iconic route and appropriately recognize the historic roadway ahead of its upcoming centennial celebration in 2026.

This designation would help spur critical preservation efforts in the hundreds of communities that call it home, and most importantly, it will help preserve Route 66 as a vital, iconic, and evolving piece of Americana for generations to come.

Representatives Darin LaHood (R-IL) and Grace Napolitano (D-CA) are leading bipartisan legislation (H.R. 4338) that would designate Route 66 as a National Historic Trail.

Contact your House Representative and ask them to support this legislation and help ensure House passage this year.
