This is a group dedicated to getting the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) to recommission US Highway 66. You need to get all eight State Highway departmentds to sign on to the deal, and then re-sign it.
It would be a good thing to do and would encourage tourism in the eight states.

Being a Road Geek I’d like them to bring back US 99 too and US 25 (Dixie Highway) north of Cincinnati.
I think they oughta do it. The interstates are awesome, but boring, as someone has already pointed out. :-)
99 is still, IIRC, mostly intact, except for long rural stretches occupied by I-5.
I like your tagline, I have distant memories of those signs while I traveled across country as a young girl with my parents.
