I remember reading a thread on BF about a year ago (maybe longer) that referenced a newspaper article that provided a good breakdown of where the money to build/repair roads comes from. The majority of the funding came from the Feds (I think) with various car taxes (license plate, driver's license, etc.) paying only a small percentage.
I did a search but can't find it. Does anyone remember the thread?
Thanks.

this isnt the thread but is a link to a bicycle trail project website.
https://www.greenway.org/
on the web site there is a link called get money for your project. it may be helpful for the info your looking for

That's not it but a great website. Riding from Florida to Maine? Hmmm. Makes you stop and think.

The thread I was looking for gave the breakdown. It provides all the details so when motorists say cyclist don't pay for the roads so they have no right to use them we have the facts for them to read.

okie i'll give it another shot

heres a site that has a bunch of charts about where money comes from and where it goes.
