“The Centennial Route 66 Passport is more than just a keepsake – it’s a celebration of the road and the people who live, work, and travel along it,” said Bill Thomas, Chair of the Road Ahead Partnership and Commissioner for the Route 66 Centennial Commission. “This edition allows travelers to experience the rich history of Route 66 while helping preserve its legacy for generations to come.”
