Trips under a mile should not be by car are all unless you are carrying luggage or are disabled or similar.

The trips over a 100 miles are a much higher percentage of distance travelled. One 100 mile trips is the same distance as 33 three mile trips. if you look at distance travelled its dominated by longer trips on your numbers.

I assume your numbers are for the US where cars are more heavily used for commuting than anywhere else?

Persuade my city to install some sidewalks, please. I can't leave my neighborhood safely on foot.
