We are writing to you today to ask your help to bring U.S. Bicycle Routes to Oregon! As you know, four Adventure Cycling routes traverse the beautiful state of Oregon: the TransAmerica Trail, the Lewis & Clark Trail, the Sierra Cascades and the Pacific Coast bicycle routes. All of these routes are also U.S. Bicycle Route corridors that, once developed and designated, will put Oregon on the national map and draw out-of-state and international bicyclists to visit the state. Imagine welcoming touring cyclists with numbered U.S. Bicycle Route signs across Oregon. Let’s not miss the opportunity to connect Oregon to the national network and showcase it as the best state in the country for bicycle touring. How can you help? It’s easy. Just email the Oregon Department of Transportation at ORBike...@odot.state.or.us by February 18 with the following request for their draft Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan: Please add the following on page 42, under strategy 4.2C or as additional strategy under 4.2E: Promote intercity and interstate bicycle transportation through the planning and implementation of the U.S. Bicycle Route System. You can also view the Bicycle and Pedestrian Mode Plan at www.oregon.gov/odot/td/tp/pages/bikepedplan.aspx and add your comments via the virtual Open House. Questions? Email travel-in...@adventurecycling.org and we’ll provide the answers. Thank you for taking a few minutes to provide comments. Your support is critical to bringing U.S. Bicycle Routes to Oregon!
