Participant Perceptions of the Florida Scenic Highways Program Process in Four Designated Corridors

The Florida Scenic Highways Program represents an innovative shift in state policy that encourages communities to become active in shaping, promoting, and protecting their local historical and intrinsic resources. A web-based survey was distributed to four scenic highway corridor groups that achieved designation over four years ago: Indian River Lagoon Scenic Highway, A1A Ocean Shore Scenic Highway, Old Florida Heritage Highway, and Florida Keys Scenic Highway. The survey explores community participants' attitudes toward their local scenic highway corridor program. The survey gathers information regarding the perceptions of program progress, benefits to the surrounding area, the involvement of different actors within the program, and how to improve community participation and representation.
