COEUR d'ALENE - A discussion of the state's byways and updates on the program will highlight the annual meeting of the Idaho Byways Advisory Council (IBAC) on Thursday, October 19.
The meeting, open to the public, will be held from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the

Advisory council members will hear from local committees about projects and events, and discuss social media, marketing and maintenance regarding the program, in addition to the viability of unmanaged byways.
IBAC was created to advise the transportation department on issues related to the Idaho Byways Program. The council works to highlight Idaho's heritage through preservation, protection, and enhancement of the state's scenic, cultural, historic, archeological, recreational, or natural qualities that promote tourism on designated Idaho highways, roads and trails.
IBAC also promotes and enhances other economic opportunities in coordination with key stakeholders throughout the state of Idaho.
The group is composed of federal and state agencies and other byway stakeholders with a direct interest in the byway program.
