Bike lanes, paths or trails, where should the State be putting its efforts?

According to the National Survey of Bicyclist and Pedestrian Attitudes and Behavior:

The change most desired in the community among all cycling frequencies was to increase bicycling facilities such as more bicycle lanes (38%), more bicycle paths (30%), and more bicycle trails (14%).

Yet Maryland seems to emphasize trails and paths sometime to the expense of bike lanes or bikeable shoulders. I will strongly assert that the main reason for this is that there is currently no set funding mechanism and procedures for bike lanes as there is for paths and trails.
