Maine tops the charts for state-wide advocacy capacity. THUNDERHEAD ORGANIZATIONS THAT work state-wide operate on an average of three cents per capita. Maine has the highest per capita revenue of advocacy organizations in all states earning approximately 34 cents per resident. On average, states have 0.37 full-time-equivalent (FTE) bicycle and pedestrian advocacy staff person per one million people. Texas has the most advocacy staff of any state with 17 FTEs. Hawaii has six FTE which translates into 4.95 FTE staff per million people: the highest number of staff per capita in the country. In terms of membership, Maine also ranks highest with one member for every 212 residents (a total of 6,000 members). Colorado also has 6,000 members, coming in second with one member for every 717 residents. Jeff Miller, Executive Director of the Bicycle Coalition of Maine attributes his success to being a relentless advocate. He also noted the most important thing about earning and keeping members is to ask. Maine’s governor, attorney general, Senate president and more than a dozen state representatives and senators participated in the annual Maine Legislative Bike Tour and Walk organized by the Bicycle Coalition of Maine.
