At this point, we may have exceeded 1960 ridership levels

So we just possibly might finally have some real growth after a period of time of of almost 50 years, in which the population has increased by over 70%, and highway miles driven have increased by over 300%.

And this lack of growth is NOT due to not spending money on transit. A lot of money is being spent on transit. A much larger percentage then the percentage of passenger miles transit moves. That's particularly true outside of the densest cities. (In those cities transit does makes sense, and I've already said as much.)

Why should the cost of an existing road be attributed to light rail?

Because its using the resource.
