Spot Improvements are actions that address problems at specific locations such as intersections, short lengths of roadway, or single destinations (e.g., an office building or shopping center). They can be distinguished from other bicycle and pedestrian-related projects such as development of new trails in that they bridge physical or functional gaps in the system rather than in and of themselves providing new routes.
The first project to be funded as a drawdown under RG41 was
the Bikes on Buses program (T58). This
project was approved by the Planning Committee at its

All Spot Improvement Projects are funded with a maximum of 80% federal funds and are capped at the time of project programming. In cases where sponsors committed more than the minimum required 20% local match, the project was capped at the amount of federal funding requested. Any cost increases above 80% of the original project cost estimate or the approved level of federal funding will be absorbed by the project sponsor. Any cost decreases cannot have the effect of increasing the federal share above 80%.
