The others, well if you consider ALL the costs that drivers pay (gasoline tax, personal property tax, sales tax on the car, traffic and parking tickets in excess of the cost to run the traffic courts and enforce the traffic laws, tolls, etc.), they might be enough. If they aren't, and there is a net subsidy, its probably a much smaller percent than many other forms of transportation, esp. if you consider the government/public benefit use and subtract out some dollar benefit for such use.

Hum, dedicated taxes. Sort of like Social Security.
