Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Information for the modal breakdown came from from a 2003 graduate thesis on transportation. It was assumed the same breakdown exists today for ease of use and application to today's population. This is a conservative estimate, as we know there is more biking and public transportation now than 8 years ago.
