OSM's USBRS WikiProject is making nice progress on the latest USBR 
ballots now before AASHTO awaiting approval:  for this round, we now 
have volunteers in Vermont, Kansas, Indiana and Arizona!  However, 
the project could still use additional volunteers to "step right up!" 
and offer help entering these pending national bicycle routes:

USBRs 21, 321 and 521 in Georgia
USBRs 35 and 50 in Indiana

In Georgia, all three routes need to be added to OSM, about 342 km of 
route data.  The complete application (ballot to AASHTO) with map, 
turn by turn directions/route log and Georgia DOT imprimatur is 
available.

In Indiana, USBR 35 is "mostly correctly" entered into OSM, largely 
needing a good review/proofread compared to official ballot route 
data.  This goes MUCH quicker than entering the whole route from 
scratch!  USBR 50 in Indiana needs some minor corrections around 
Indianapolis and a similar review/proofread, meaning it, too, can be 
completed relatively quickly.

If you wish to help, please email me with your request and I'll send 
you the ballot(s).  But time is getting short to enter route data, as 
these are likely to be approved in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you!
