Financing Transport Infrastructure: Which Way for Non-Motorized Transport?

The full benefits of non-motorized transport (NMT) cannot be ripped unless it is planned and budgeted for. However, a great barrier to financing non-motorized transport is the lack of guidance or models for determining how much should be allocated or budgeted to ensure significant development of non-motorized transport. In most cases, transport budgets are allocated for infrastructure development without clearly delineating the amount meant for motorized transport infrastructure and the share for non-motorized transport. Since the priority in road construction has always been the motor carriageway, in such cases the remainder is what is used for non-motorized transport infrastructure.
