Bike Coalition considers ATP

Bike Coalition evaluates ATP

•  Stand-alone bike projects probably got less money

•  Mixed projects probably got more money •  No network-based projects were funded,

but there were some big projects funded – Top 5 got $36.4 million (16% of funds) – Top 10% got $75.3 million (34% of funds) – 11 of the top 15 projects were bike/ped

combined projects

Conclusions

•  Needs more money •  Need to incent network-based projects
