Several state DOTs developed unit cost estimates based on data that they have collected over time. Specifically, the states of Florida, Iowa, and Vermont developed cost estimate reports that outline unit costs, as well as provide project level costs (e.g., bicycle trails per mile)

The unit cost of $135/cubic yard* for bituminous concrete paving used in the cost model represents the median cost from a sample of 26 bikeway projects that specified the use of bituminous concrete paving.

These markings are often used on roadways with two or more lanes in the direction the symbol is applied. The shared lane marking typically consists of a bicycle symbol with a directional arrow.

Typically bollards are placed at the intersection of a trail with local streets or other locations where passage of motor vehicles is prohibited and bicycles is permitted. The City and County of Denver, Colorado, prepared a report of bid cost data of road construction projects for 1999 identifying a unit cost for bollards of $130 each*

In addition to basic services, most projects require special services for such things as environmental assessment and permitting, community coordination, and custom design of features such as special landscaping or designing for unique soil conditions. From the survey of bicycle project cost data, Iowa estimated design fees as 7% of construction costs with an additional 5% for construction phase services for a total of 12%.

When the cost model user enters the build year into the model, the index for the build year is applied to the 2002 base year costs to provide estimated build year costs. 5.00 Operations and Maintenance Operations cost for bicycle facilities typically includes the cost of security or policing the facility.
