The shared use path (the appropriate name for what are often called bike paths or trails) and shared use structures on those paths are off-roadway facilities intended for non-motorized travel. Ramps and curb cuts where paths or sidewalks cross roadways are eligible facilities; bicycle parking facilities also qualify. Signs, pavement markings and signals associated with road or non-road facilities for bicycle or pedestrian users are also eligible expenditures.Non-road facilities Accommodations which occur off the edge of the road, and may or may not be within the road right of way.

    11. On-Road Facilities

    12. Road facilities are non-motorized accommodations built in a roadway. They include paving wide shoulders 4’ or greater, and portions of road or bridge construction, reconstruction, resurfacing or widening suitable for non-motorized users. In general, any work that adds width to the roadway beyond the minimum design width provided for motor vehicles use is considered as an accommodation for bicyclists. Widened curb lanes, striped bicycle lanes and paved shoulders are facilities that may add sufficient width to a roadway to qualify as a bicycle accommodation. “Road Diets” or the restriping costs associated with converting a roadway from four lanes to three lanes (two travel lanes, a turn lane and two bicycle lanes) within the existing curb alignment can also be considered an eligible expenditure.
