A few days ago the Alliance for Biking & Walking (a North American coalition of over 160 grassroots biking and walking advocacy organizations) released their Bicycling and Walking in the United States: The 2010 Benchmarking Report.

The report reveals that: in almost every state and major U.S. city, bicyclists and pedestrians are at a disproportionate risk of being killed, and receive less than their fair share of transportation dollars. While 10% of trips in the U.S. are by bike or foot, 13% of traffic fatalities are bicyclists and pedestrians. Biking and walking receive less than 2% of federal transportation dollars. Seniors are at an even greater risk. While adults over 65 make up 9% of walking trips and 4% of biking trips, they account for 19% of pedestrian fatalities and 9% of bicyclist fatalities.
