What will it Cost and How will we Pay for it? nashvillempo.org

Average Costs per Mile TRANSPORTATION OPTION AVG COST / MILE (Million) Heavy Rail Transit $139 ‐ $323 Light Rail Transit $45 ‐ $85 Bus Rapid Transit $3 ‐ $49 Electric Streetcar $3 ‐ $30 Commuter Rail $1 ‐ $15 4‐Lane Highway $32 ‐ $60 nashvillempo.org

What do other things cost? 2030 Regional Plan adopted in 2005 = $3.5 B Annual Payroll for NFL Players = $3.6 B Central Texas Turnpike around Austin = $3.6 B San Francisco/Oakland Bridge Replacement = $6.3 B Denver FasTracks System = $6.9 B Las Vegas City Center (mixed‐use) = $11 B Big Dig (Boston) = $14.6 B TTI Cost of Congestion for Nashville Metro between now and 2035 = $10.6 B nashvillempo.org

Funding/ Financing Issues 2035 Plan estimated to provide approx $4.9 B Federal The cost of NEEDS/ VISION is likely double or triple the anticipated revenues Lack of dedicated funding for transit to ensure stability and to compete for federal transit funds Sprawling land development pattern creates unsustainable demand for infrastructure Declining fuel tax revenues and buying power means fewer projects, slower progress, less benefit nashvillempo.org
