The Route 66 Alliance is dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and enhancement of historic Route 66 — past, present, and future.
The Route 66 Alliance, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and enhancement of historic Route 66 – past, present, and future.
The Alliance supports the efforts of organizations and people in each of the eight Route 66 states to preserve historic sites, architecture, institutions, merchants, and attractions that touch the lives of millions of people from around the world who travel the length of the historic highway. The Alliance also partners with the eight state associations to encourage tourism and economic development along the Route 66 corridor.
Many key Route 66 influences and activists have endorsed the creation of the Route 66 Alliance. Each one recognizes that the highway needs a national voice. Each also understands that everything that is preserved and protected in one of the states benefits attractions and people in all of the Mother Road states.
The Route 66 Alliance chose Tulsa, Oklahoma, as its headquarters, in part, because of the community’s commitment to its Route 66 heritage. The city is centrally located and plays an important role in the creation, development, and history of Route 66. Currently the route 66 Alliance office is located in the Tulsa Historical Society where Alliance co-founder Michael Wallis serves as Historian-In-Residence.
