  1. Oceanside-Escondido Rail Line 1.011 Final Project Presentation John R. Velasco May 12th, 2003

  2. North San Diego County Transit District Service Area The SPRINTER – 2005

  3. Background • 1987 SANDAG Highway 78 Corridor Study • (determined rail service in corridor is feasible) • 1987 TRANSNET 1/2% sales tax approved • 1992 SANDAG Transit Corridor Evaluation (determined DMU’s most cost-efficient) • 1992 NCTD (with MTDB) purchases 84 miles of track, including The SPRINTER line for $90 million • Keeps project costs down The SPRINTER – 2005

  4. Problems & Issues • Cal State San Marcos Loop at Highway 78 Overcrossing • 37 grade crossings in 22 miles • Short-term construction traffic • Local outreach and notification • Continuing Freight Rail operations during construction • Traffic Control Plan to meet Caltrans requirements • Implementation of Traffic Control Plan will reduce impacts to less than significant The SPRINTER – 2005

  5. Costs & Benefits The SPRINTER – 2005

  6. Costs • Total Construction Costs $205,969,000 • Total Non-Constr. Costs $107,062,000 • Project Contingency $ 16,400,000 • Project Escalation $ 22,069,000 • Total Project Budget $351,500,000 The SPRINTER – 2005

  7. Costs--In perspective • “Highly Recommended” Project by FTA • $16.1 million/mile ($40-50 M National Avg.) • 55% locally funded • High potential use • Annual operating cost for Oceanside - Escondido Rail Project: $12.2 million in first full year of operation • Estimated 40-50% farebox recovery rate - consistent with national average The SPRINTER – 2005

  8. Benefits • Potential addition of 4,884 full-time jobs during construction with 6,667 secondary or indirect jobs for the region • Addition of 170 on-site jobs for operation and maintenance of the system when it is up and running with 304 indirect jobs generated • Improved air quality…Fewer emissions from vehicles on Highway 78 (25-30% decrease in auto traffic) • Increased travel capacity in the corridor...You don’t have to use transit to benefit from transit • Increased mobility for North County residents: • Link to COASTER / AMTRAK / Metrolink • Link to BREEZE • Link to Interstate 15 and future Bus Rapid Transit • Provide bike trail in corridor • More access to local schools, jobs and shopping The SPRINTER – 2005

  9. SERVICE TO STUDENTS • Cal State University San Marcos • Currently has 8,000 students • plus 800 faculty & staff • 11,000 students projected by 2009 • 18,000 students projected by 2020 • Palomar College • 20,000 students currently attend San Marcos campus • Mira Costa College • 13,616 students by 2005 The SPRINTER – 2005

  12. RAIL SERVICE • Passenger service every 30 minutes from 5 a.m. • to 10:30 p.m. • 64 train trips/day • Max speed: 50 mph • Flat fares proposed $1.50/trip • Freight service will continue 2-3 times a week at night • Projected daily ridership: • 12,000 in 2005 • 19,000 in 2020 • Transit riders in corridor: • 9,800 on Routes 302, 318 and 320 • **Fastest growing ridership in system** The SPRINTER – 2005

  13. POTENTIAL RIDERS • Ridership throughout the day, connections to shopping important Shopping 68% Visit friends 51% Other 49% Work 21% School 12% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% The SPRINTER – 2005

  14. WHY DMU? • Ability to operate in existing right-of-way • Bi-directional operation • Designed for light-density, regional service to heavily-used urban and inter-city rail lines and Bus Rapid Transit • Modular design / “building block” approach • Multiple - unit capability • Lightweight material • Self-propelled diesel - no catenary required The SPRINTER – 2005

  15. Financial Analysis The SPRINTER – 2005
