Certificate Of Completion

The original Certificate of Completion for traveling 66 was born out of a desire to help travelers better understand Route 66 as it is today. Speaking with travelers at the end of the trip, we often hear about the wonderful people along the road, the food, the feeling of traveling to get to know the country. People tell us they wished they had more time overall, that they had tried vintage motels, and that they had used up less time on side trips away from 66 itself.

Travelers are the lifeblood of Route 66 towns and businesses, so when those who have already made the trip give good advice and inspire others to follow, it keeps the spirit and culture of 66 alive.

If you're traveling the road you can pick up your certificate in person at our 66-to-Cali kiosk on Santa Monica Pier. We'll hold a short interview to verify you've really traveled the road and fill it out by hand.

If you've traveled all of 66 but didn't stop by to see us in Santa Monica we can send you one. Please include the name or names as you'd like them written ("Will Rogers", "The Joad family"), the date you completed your trip (or the last missing section if done in parts), and tell us some details about your trip including favorite places and people on 66, what you would do differently the second time, and what you were surprised by.

Proceeds from sale of certificates go to help efforts to preserve and educate the public about Route 66.
