“Form 990, part iii, line 4a - first accomplishment scenic america is also the leading national advocacy organization promoting scenic byways. After steering the effort in congress to restore the national scenic byways program in 2019, in fy20-21 we secured dedicated funding for the program for the first time in nine years. To inform and educate government officials and members of the press and public about the program, we developed robust new tools and information for our website. When the federal highway administration announced its newest all-american roads and national scenic byways designations in february 2021, scenic america secured national media coverage in leading travel outlets and more than doubled its online traffic. Beyond billboards and byways, we also advocate to ensure that other key scenic conservation issues remain a part of the national infrastructure policy agenda. In the past year, we have worked with congress to ensure that provisions for utility undergrounding, flexible funding for gateway communities, native plantings, and other scenic priorities are supported in the forthcoming surface transportation reauthorization. Recognizing the importance of cultivating scenic conservation awareness in future generations, we also focus on educational outreach platforms. In fy20-21 we launched new interactive educational games on the agents of discovery platform to teach students about scenic conservation, both in classrooms and at home. Despite the challenges of the past year, scenic america grew as an organization in fy20-21, adding to our staff and external support. We also inspired more supporters to join our cause, significantly increasing our email audience and again driving our annual revenue past the 1 million mark.”
