Planning for a national [[bicycle touring]] route across the northernmost states of the United States began in the early 2000s, under efforts by the [[American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials]] (AASHTO) to expand the [[United States Bicycle Route System]], established in 1982 and not expanded since. The northern route, which had been marketed as the "Northern Tier" by [[Adventure Cycling]], was identified in 2008 as a priority corridor for the renewed system and later numbered "USBR 10".<ref>{{cite news |last = Woodward |first = Calvin |date = December 9, 2008 |title = New interstate road map takes shape for bicyclists |url = http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/travel/news/2008-12-09-bicycle-route-system_N.htm |agency = Associated Press |work = USA Today |access-date = October 23, 2016 |archive-date = May 30, 2016 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160530013022/http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/travel/news/2008-12-09-bicycle-route-system_N.htm |url-status = live }}</ref><ref>{{cite map |title = U.S. Bicycle Routes Corridor Plan, Final Draft v.12 - 2008 |url = http://design.transportation.org/Documents/Sullivan,USBRSCorridorMap.pdf |format = PDF |publisher = American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials |access-date = October 23, 2016 |archive-date = September 22, 2015 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150922194704/http://design.transportation.org/Documents/Sullivan,USBRSCorridorMap.pdf |url-status = live }}</ref>
