According To Argonne National Laboratory, The US Needs 13,000 Miles Of High Speed Intercity System Within 20 Years (a $300 Billion Market) FRA Has Selected 9 Routes that Are Deemed “Financially Feasible” ($95 Billion) Estimates Are For 2-3 Miles Of Urban And Regional System Every Mile Of High-Speed System World-wide Market Will Be Vast! LONG TERM POTENTIALFOR MAGLEV… A World Market
AMT Market Space • AMT plans to be 30% of $2 billion market in 2008 • Advanced technology induces demand and accelerates new projects. • Lower cost per mile opens up new markets.
WASHINGTON-RICHMOND-HAMPTON ROADS • The ODU Project Was Envisioned As The “Test Case” For This Project. Phase 1 Is $1.5B. • VA Legislature Made This Maglev Project A “State Priority” In This Year’s Budget. • Financial Studies Indicate That Washington To Richmond Is Financially Feasible Now. • High Focus On 400th Anniversary Celebration.
IT IS ALL ABOUT THE COST • The Technology Can Be Deployed For An “All Up” Cost Of Under $20 Million Per Kilometer • The Technology Is Ready Now For New Transit Deployments • A Realistic Plan Has Been Developed To Grow The Technology To Higher Speeds And More Complex Operation
