There are many ways to fund active transportation—trails, biking and walking—at the state level. Creativity and strong partnerships are central to an effective funding strategy. Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s Active Transportation Policy Hub is a search tool to empower transportation advocates, legislators, government officials and their staff with information and examples of effective funding models that can be replicated to secure the investments they need locally.

Using the drop-down menus below, search for legislation by state, topic area (relevant funding types such as vehicle fees, transportation, taxes, etc.) and funding mechanism (such as bill, ballot initiative, executive or agency-related action, etc.). If you aren’t sure what to search for, select "all" for any of the categories.

If you are interested in state spending of federal funding, a report for each state is available on the Transportation Alternative Data Exchange (TrADE) website.
