Actually, when you look at it either on a per person/rider or a per passenger mile basis, transit gets far greater levels of federal funding... Hardly the red headed step child... After all, of course we spend more on roads, the vast majority of our travel as a nation occurs on them, including those who choose a bicycle as their mode of transport...
