I'm putting together a brief article on the costs of traffic infrastructure and the contributions by cyclists, pedestrians, and motorists. Anyone with any specific figures not already mentioned (this thread has been very valuable) or contacts I could talk to, please post here with the info. Much appreciated!
Note in the document linked below, which is a cost / contribution analysis for North American traffic infrastructure, an example of a typical motorist and typical cyclist. The cyclist only cycles, the motorist only motors, both have about average income and miles travelled for their modes. The cyclist overpayed for infrastructure used by $252, while the motorist underpayed by $236.

I'd like to find an analysis like this if possible that the info pertains to Oregon and Portland costs / contributions.
