What can't be easily accounted for in a measure of transit miles as a percentage of total miles traveled is the amount of reduction in the total miles traveled due to the amenity of the system itself. Mass transit systems encourage density where they are accessible and a mile on transit is not directly comparable to a mile driven. Other spillover effects should be accounted for like more space available for retail and residential, reduced need for large swaths of parking, less CO pollution and health effects etc.
