Adventure Cycling's strategic plan (pdf/132k) outlines our three major campaigns -- and our goals for these campaigns -- through 2012. Below (in bold) are our current campaigns, followed by a listing of current projects for each campaign:

• We are working to establish an official U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS), in partnership with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation, national and state agencies, and other non-profit organizations.
• In January 2012, we will finish up work on the new Detroit Alternate for our Underground Railroad Bicycle Route.
• In 2012, we will embark on route research for the Adventure Cycling Route Network's next long-distance route: Bicycle Route 66.
• We are in the process of converting our maps to GIS (Geographic Information System).This conversion process will take several years and will be ongoing as the maps are updated. All new maps will be created in GIS. The GIS process will allow us to add some new features to the maps including shaded relief. It will also facilitate faster and more accurate updates, along with keeping our Routes and Mapping Department up-to-date with the latest technologies in cartography.

• We offer more than 45 guided tours each year including self-contained, supported, and educational trips.
• We produce 9 issues of Adventure Cyclist magazine each year for our membership.
• We're continuing to expand and develop our online resources for bicycle travelers, including our blog, How-To Department, BikeOvernights.org, and BicycleTravelBloggers.org.
• We're cultivating robust social media communities on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube for the organization and for individual programs such as the U.S. Bicycle Route System.
• We're offering an annual photo contest that encourages cyclists to submit their best bike-travel photos from their adventures around the globe.

• We're continuing our involvement with the America Bikes coalition.
• Our ongoing national bicycle-travel awards program is going strong.
• We're working to secure safer bicycle-travel conditions in the U.S., including advocating for the appropriate application of rumble strips.
• We're working to develop resources to publicize and implement the official U.S. Bicycle Route System.
