Preserve

The Preservation Working Group

To achieve its preservation related goals, the Road Ahead has established a Preservation Working Group.

The current goals of the Preservation Working Group include:

• Collaboratively share best practices and ideas between such groups as State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPO) and Departments of Transportation, focused on the preservation of Route 66 related bridges, buildings, structures, districts, sites, objects, and landscapes.

• Share information with Route 66 stakeholders about the meaning and benefits of preservation – and the tools, techniques, and incentives for achieving appropriate preservation outcomes.

• Share information with the Road Ahead Board of Directors about Section 106 and the preservation of historic properties.

• Utilize social media to share information on preservation resources and the Section 106 process, currently available on the Road Ahead Partnership website.

Progress being made by the Preservation Working Group on these goals is reported in the Annual and Quarterly Reports found in the Resources Section of this website.
