Does the Federal Tax Code Favor Driving Over Other Modes?

With taxes due in just a month, Tri-State, an east coast transportation blog, took a look at available and recently-expired tax credits and deductions related to automobile and transit use in the federal tax code to see if the tax breaks being offered incentivized or had a bias towards automobile use.
So what did they find? The results are right here.

By the way, if you decide to use some of these deductions, keep in mind the people who keep these blogs aren't lawyers or accountants so you'll need to do the appropriate research.
