The FHWA warns "It is critical to note that not all States follow the same reporting procedures, so the table is not a complete representation of actual spending in States. For example, some States report only spending on independent bicycle and pedestrian projects or programs, but not on facilities that are constructed as part of a larger project. By comparison, some States report all aspects of bicycle and pedestrian-related spending, regardless of whether the facility is embedded in a larger project or is an independent project or program."
Also, it's probable that spending from one year is differed to another as projects slip. This does not include whatever DC spends on bicycle and pedestrian projects from its own money.
Over the last 10 years we've gotten more than South Dakota and West Virginia combined, except...Readers are strongly discouraged from using this table to draw comparisons between individual States' spending patterns without understanding how each State reports spending.
