Hi Ryan,

Sadly, I don't know of any of the information you're looking for, but would you mind forwarding any precedents you find? I work with youth for a project called Charlie's FreeWheels in Toronto.

Thanks! Katherine

Hey there,

Bicycle Longmont is working on a bike system funding project and we're in the research phase right now. Who out there is aware of innovative ways communities, states/provinces, are funding bike improvements? We've heard of Bike taxes, like in Colorado Springs where $4 is added to the price of every new bike sold, We've heard of options where local sales tax derrived from bike sales go toward infrastructure/bike projects.

Also - Oregon and Maine have surcharges on traffic infractions that go toward statewide funds that include grants that make biking and walking to school safer and to programs for adult and children bike education. Anyone aware of other sources of info on this topic?

Thanks, Ryan Kragerud, President Bicycle Longmont
