Since the passage of the Scenic Byways Act in 1989 and the publication of the Scenic Byways Advisory Committee Report of 1991, many states have created byways programs, joining the states that have had administered programs for years. The initial flurry of activity has retreated somewhat, and some of the original interest has waned. Yet this period offers an advantage to states such as Oklahoma that did not begin a byways program immediately after 1989-1991. What aspects of their programs have been successful? What has worked well and what has not? These questions prompted a detailed analysis of how states were addressing specific issues such as ( a) the creation, administration, and funding of a scenic byways agency, ( b) designation criteria, and ( c) the economic effects of scenic byways. The objective was to determine which ideas and modifications implemented by other states could translate to Oklahoma's setting.
