Does that statistic include:
- Freight traffic
- State and municipal costs, including law enforcement. (Ex, New York employs over 40,000 state and municipal workers dedicated to roadways, not including contractors)
- Health impact. (Exhaust has significant health effects and associated costs. See http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/downloads/pdf/eode/comm-air-survey-report.pdf http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/downloads/pdf/eode/comm-air-surv...)
- Direct and indirect government support of various auto-related industries.
