The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) pulled funding last week from a number of non-car-focused transit projects across the country, including at least two projects in Boston. But that funding cut likely won’t impact the city’s bike lane projects, at least for the time being.

The DOT rescinded a number of federal transit-related grants for being “hostile” to cars. Boston has publicly admitted to having had two such grants be rescinded.

This kind of language would suggest that the DOT is trying to pull funding from bike-related projects. It in fact has done so in places like Connecticut and Arizona. But neither of the rescinded grants had anything to do with bikes, and the majority of the city’s bike lane money comes from other sources than the federal transportation department.

In the Fiscal Year 2023 budget breakdown on its website, the city said it planned to allocate “$4.65 million to expand the Strategic Bike Network citywide and create additional protected bike lanes, and $8 million of ARPA funds to transform Boston into America’s Best Biking City.” ARPA funding, despite in this case being transit-related, is distributed by the Treasury Department, not the DOT.

In its 2024, 2025, and 2026 fiscal year budgets, the city doesn’t mention the word “bike” at all, which suggests it hasn’t gotten any more notable federal funding to put towards it.

This is supported by City Council docket records, as the Council is required to approve the acceptance and distribution of federal funding. According to those records, which are publicly available on city databases, the most recent bike-related grant the city received from the DOT was an “Electric Blue Bikes Adoption grant” for $816,000 in 2023.

“The grant will fund the introduction of electric-assist bikes (e-bikes) into the City of Boston’s publicly owned and managed Blue Bike share system,” the record reads.

A city spokesperson did not respond to questions specifically asking how bike-related projects would be affected by the DOT’s recent funding cuts. They did, however, provide copies of the letters the city received for the two grants it has publicly said were cut.

The DOT acknowledged but did not respond to a request for comment.

These grants were for a public realm and connection project in Mattapan Square, with $2 million provided towards an estimated total cost of $16 million; and a $20 million grant towards rebuilding three major streets in Roxbury.

The DOT wrote in the letters that it was cutting the Roxbury project because of the “inclusion of EV charging infrastructure,” and the Mattapan Square project because it “would include removal of single-occupant vehicle travel lanes, is hostile to motor vehicles and lacks national significance.”

A potential third grant, reported by Bloomberg, but not named or referenced by the city when asked for comment, apparently would have addressed safety at intersections throughout the city. This matches a $9 million DOT grant approved by the City Council this past June towards the city’s Complete Streets project. According to Bloomberg, the DOT revoked the intersection safety grant because it might “impede vehicle capacity and speed.”

During Mayor Michelle Wu’s tenure, Boston has received at least $487 million in DOT grants.
