    Byways Program

    The Pennsylvania (PA) Byways program includes 21 designated PA Byways, one Forestry Byway, and four Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) National Scenic Byways (NSB). The Pennsylvania program parallels FHWA's NSB Program.  Pennsylvania Byways are designated at the request of local communities seeking to highlight roadways with cultural, historical, recreational, archaeological, scenic, and natural qualities.

    The Mission

    The Pennsylvania Byways Program supports communities and local governments in achieving byway designations.  To assist with local efforts to maintain byway resource qualities, to protect and preserve visual features and community character, to educate residents and visitors, to promote tourism and enhance economic development potential throughout the Commonwealth, and to avoid, minimize, and mitigate negative impacts along byway corridors.
