Help PBIC Build a New Cost Database for Active Transportation Projects

Contribute your cost data to improve planning tools for walking, biking, and micromobility
Transportation professionals often struggle to find accurate cost estimates for infrastructure that supports walking, bicycling, and micromobility. To address this gap, the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center (PBIC) is building a national database of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure costs to support better planning, scoping, and cost estimation.
PBIC is inviting agencies and partners to contribute to this growing resource by sharing cost data from their own projects. This includes infrastructure treatments such as sidewalks, bike lanes, crosswalk enhancements, traffic calming, and other countermeasures that serve nonmotorized road users.
There are two ways to share information:
- Submit your cost information via our short online form
- Send data or questions to pbic@pedbikeinfo.org
We welcome cost data from local, regional, state, and national sources. Submissions should focus on:
- Start-up or installation costs (not planning, design, or long-term maintenance)
- Project-level information including treatment type, location, and installation year
- Infrastructure aimed at improving conditions for people walking, biking, or using micromobility devices
Your contribution will help expand the data available to researchers, planners, engineers, and advocates seeking to make informed, cost-effective decisions about Complete Streets and safety investments.
This project builds on PBIC’s earlier work, Costs for Pedestrian and Bicycle Infrastructure Improvements, which compiled cost data for a wide range of facilities across the U.S. This project is an opportunity to update and expand that original resource with current data from projects across the country and help communities plan smarter and invest efficiently in safer streets.
