The Maryland Scenic Byways Program Advisory Committee has published a strategic plan to integrate Maryland's Scenic Byways to the surrounding landscape. Maryland Scenic Byways: Moving Forward Toward Sustainability guides and supports the system of scenic byways as an integral part of Maryland's transportation network.  As part of the plan, the State Highway Administration (SHA) is installing new signs for the state and national routes to meet modern traffic standards. For local agencies and advocates, the Maryland Department of Planning (MDP) and SHA developed the Scenic Byways Resource Protection Application, a GIS-based mapping tool to inventory protected, vulnerable and threatened resources along Maryland's Scenic Byways.
