Bicycling & Walking in the U.S./ Thunderhead Alliance 2007 48 BICYCLING & WALKING POLICIES & PROVISIONS for Bicycling & Walking Provisions (2) $25 in 50 States federal dollars spent for each funding program per capita per year (1) Funding $20 $15 $10 $5 $0 Alaska Rhode Island Vermont Hawaii Delaware Wyoming Montana Nebraska New Hampshire Arkansas North Dakota Georgia Tennessee Iowa Missouri Minnesota Federal Funding Program (3) Oklahoma other Transportation and Community and System Preservation Program Recreational Trails Program High Priority Projects Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) Surface Transportation Program/Transportation Enhancements (STP/TE) Wisconsin Washington Alabama New Mexico Oregon Idaho Arizona Kansas Indiana states Source: (page 48 and 49) FHWA’s FMIS accounting system (2001-2006) (1)Data here is from a six year average of authorized funding and thus represent all federal funds obligated to projects in the 6-year period and are not necessarily the actual amount spent in these years; The “other” category represents approximately 50 additional federal funding programs for which relatively small amounts were spent on bicycle and pedestrian projects; (2) Alaska was cropped in this illustration to allow funding sources from other states to be viewed; Alaska had an additional $20.51 per capita in the “other category” for a total of $45.58 per capita each year in federal funds obligated to bicycling and walking projects in the 6-year period; Maine Colorado Louisiana Kentucky Pennsylvania Massachusetts Ohio Michigan Connecticut Maryland Florida California Texas Mississippi Utah Nevada New York North Carolina Virginia Illinois South Dakota New Jersey West Virginia South Carolina
Funding for Bicycling & Walking Provisions federal dollars spent for each funding program per capita per year (1) $10 $8 $6 $4 $2 $0 Baltimore Atlanta Oklahoma City Washington Omaha New Orleans Tulsa Amarillo Oakland Minneapolis Portland Nashville-Davidson Louisville Milwaukee Sacramento in 50 Cities(4,5) Tucson San Jose Austin Federal Funding Program (3) other Seattle San Antonio Transportation and Community and System Preservation Program High Priority Projects Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) Surface Transportation Program/Transportation Enhancements (STP/TE) Phoenix Mesa Philadelphia San Diego Indianapolis Memphis Detroit cities (3) Funding programs that comprised a large share of all bike/ped spending (pie chart page 47) may not be a top funding program for comparing all states and cities. The Mimimum Guarantee, National Highway System, National Corridor, Interstate Maintenance, Public Lands, and Recreational Trails Program (for cities) may have contributed enough funds to a project to qualify it as a top bike/ped spending program in terms of dollars spent. However, when we divided funds by the population of cities and states, these spending programs do not qualify as a top bike/ped spending program and thus are not included in these illustrations; (4) Funding data for cities was gleaned from the FHWA which reports projects by “Urbanized Areas” and counties. Projects were sorted by urbanized area first, then by county, in order to more closely capture a particular city’s funding amount. Dollar amounts here represent per capita spending per year for the part of the Urbanized Area that lies within the Benchmarking city’s county. The majority should lie within the city’s boundary, though it likely that a small portion of funding going to other cities is captured here; (5) Discrepancies exist between FHWA funding data for cities, data reported by cities, and data from the National Transportation Enhancements Clearinghous.
