I am all for public transportation and believe we should be investing in it whenever possible. However the statistics in this story seem biased against roads. All increase in highway traffic should not be contributed to people changing their mode of transportation or deciding to drive more. Most areas that find themselves widening highways like the pictured Houston have a population growth rate of over 1.5 percent a year. This population growth rate does not appear to have been considered in the statistics. I do not think Cities are unaware of the benefit of public transportation. I think it is hard for Cities to find support for the finding the funds necessary for these projects. I hope with the added Infrastructure money cities will be able to make investments in public transportation
