Maryland Annual Vehicle Miles of Travel

Kinda funny I started bicycling advocacy in 2005 and kept hearing how they can't accommodate bicycles because of the predicted increase of VMT... it still hasn't happened.

Why does the state have to spend as much as possible on new car projects and as little as they can get away with for bicycling?
