Weather is a big factor. Florida has fair weather so no frost/freezing and a year round repair season.
Bike lanes are important for safety reasons with more and more people taking to bikes. That’s going to grow even more as the e bikes catch on. Plus they are often done with repaving and repainting, rarely new construction.
The rails to trails is funded separately..
The northern states have bad weather and short repair periods coupled with heavy traffic. Their roads are older and have heavier truck traffic due to population density.
