Got the forwarded post below from a national list - the one from Rob Sadowsky. Thought folks might be interested. Obviously, we'd have to fill in local and/or state numbers to make this accurate for Madison or Wisconsin, especially since most bicycling is on local roads, and those are paid for almost exclusively via property taxes.
On a more general level of where funding comes from for our roads, I'm including a graphic from 1000 Friends dating back to FYs 2004-2008 about Who Pays For Roads: http://www.1kfriends.org/transportation/who-pays-for-roads-in-wisconsin-2/ Robbie Webber Transportation Policy Analyst ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rob Sadowsky <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Nov 12, 2013 at 12:51 PM Subject: [People] Help us spread this infographic on Bikes Pay Share of Road virally To: Alliance for Biking and Walking List < [email protected]> We would love your help in spreading this new infographic one of our stellar interns did for us: http://btaoregon.org/nofreerides/ Let us know if you want any of the background work or design work to borrow.
