HELPFUL TIP: INCREASE YOUR CITY RATINGS SCORE BY INCREASING STATE AND LOCAL FUNDING FOR BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE
In 2022, Boulder County voters renewed a 0.1% sales tax for 15 more years, funding multimodal transportation needs and mobility access programs. The measure will leverage an estimated $260 million in matching regional, state, and federal funding for a total of $390 million over 15 years, with at least 15% dedicated to regional trails and commuter bikeways. State and local funding for bike infrastructure is critical to increasing City Ratings scores by creating great bike networks that get more people riding bikes more often. Learn how to secure state and local funding for bike infrastructure here.
