The A1A Scenic and Historic Coastal Byway was awarded the 2023 Byway Organization Award for partnership in April.

The award is from the National Scenic Byway Foundation and is one of the Foundation’s eight annual, national awards, according to a press release from the foundation.

The A1A Byway was honored for hosting the Building Better Byways Conference in March 2022.

The Friends of A1A Scenic and Historic Coastal Byway brought together representatives of Florida byways, state agencies, elected officials and national nonprofit and business partners, according to the press release.

The multi-day conference featured educational opportunities on best practices for byway leaders to implement.

A highlight of the conference was the ribbon-cutting celebration for the A1A Byway’s 2021 All-American Road status designation by Florida Highway Administration, according to the press release.

The A1A Scenic and Historic Coastal Byway is a 72-mile stretch of coastal corridor.
