The Federal Highway Administration recently updated two important webpages in the agency's Bicycle and Pedestrian Program. 

The first web page covers funding opportunities for bicycle and pedestrian projects under federal transit and highway programs. It features a table indicating potential eligibility of common bicycle and pedestrian project and facility types, treatments, programs, and activities under 12 federal transit and highway programs.  Individual programs have specific requirements, and eligibility must be determined on a case-by-case basis.  This table was updated to incorporate programs authorized under the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21).

The second web page covers bicycle facilities and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and is intended to assist practitioners with the design of bicycle facilities and traffic control devices as they relate to Part 9 (Bicycle Facilities) of the MUTCD.  The updated webpage introduces basic graphics and a new layout to clarify the content and to emphasize official rulings on experimentation, interim approvals, and interpretations.  Please note the change in guidance covering the use of green-colored pavement in the background of shared-lane markings. This treatment can now be used by agencies through the experimentation process.
