The Delaware Bayshore Byway is directly managed by a group of committed stakeholders and facilitated by Delaware Greenways. Members of the Byway Management Team (BMT) include representation from each Discover Zone, leaders of key not-for-profit organizations working to preserve the Bayshore areas, State and local Tourism offices/bureaus, representatives from the Historic Lewes and Harriet Tubman Byway Organizations along with State agencies like the DNREC and DelDOT.
The primary purpose of the BMT is to define the strategic intent, develop an overarching identify for the entities of the Bayshore (a marketing plan), and catalyze partnership among the variety of organizations that make up the Bayshore Initiative and the Byway.
Direct responsibility for the Byway lies with the Byway Management Team. This team started as the Project Advisory Committee with the responsibility for developing the 2013 Corridor Management Plan. Many of the original stakeholders remain heavily involved, and membership in the Management Team evolves as the needs grow and change.
The Management Team coordinates directly with the Byway Management Committees of the Historic Lewes Byway, and the Harriett Tubman Underground Railroad Byway.
Delaware Bayshore Byway Signage has been installed over the length of the corridor. Using GIS and route information the team worked with DelDOT Traffic and Planning and DNREC Fish and Wildlife to sign the byway route with Delaware Bayshore Byway Branding logo. Further steps include adding America’s Byway logos in conjunction with the signs that were installed over the past few years.
Additionally, the Delaware Bayshore Byway has released it standalone website with itineraries, attractions, destinations, and other important information. This website continues to support the Byway, marketing to travelers and users of the Bayshore Byway. There are many resources available that can be found at delawarebayshorebyway.org
In February 2021, the Delaware Bayshore Byway received National Scenic Byway Designation from the Federal Highway Administration. The Byway is now part of the America’s Byway program.
“America’s Byways®” is the umbrella term we use for the collection of 150 distinct and diverse roads designated by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation. They include the National Scenic Byways and All-American Roads (FHWA).”
This nationally recognized designation enhances travel tourism, sound economic development, education and preservation, and offers the opportunity for enhancement projects with Byway stakeholders and their specific communities.
Delaware Greenways extends its thanks to the Delaware Department of Transportation, Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and Delaware Tourism Office for their generous support in the development of the Delaware Bayshore Byway website.
