In 2003, Detroit was #3 of 28 in transportation spending as a percentage of household income, at 20.5% [[only Houston and Cleveland were higher). With the dramatic rise in gas prices in the nine years since, one can only imagine this percentage has grown.

Philadelphia [[15.9%), Washington, New York, Portland, and Baltimore [[14.0%).
