Calculations

Cost to accommodate each rail and road daily commuter

 

Total original project cost––––––––––––––––––-–––––-$2,888 million

 

Permits, reports, outreach, Right of way, 30% design–––$377 million

Road components––––-—–-—––––––––––––––––––––––$1876 million

Light Rail components––––––––––––––––––––––––––––-$635 million

 

Allocate permits etc to road & rail by their components costs:

 Road components+ rail components = $2511

  Rail allocation:  635/2511= 25.3%   

   Road allocation: 1876/2511 = 74.7%

 

Full rail cost:

Light Rail components––––––––––––––––––––––––––––-$635 million

Rail allocation of permits etc:  25.3%  of 377 million–––- $95 million

                                                           TOTAL rail––-$730 million

 

Full road costs:

Road components––––-—–-—––––––––––––––––––––––$1876 million

Road allocation of permits etc:  74.7%  of 377 million–– $282 million

                                                         TOTAL road––-$2158 million

 

Cost per daily commuter:

Road:

TOTAL road––-$2158 million divide by 81,000 daily commuters = $26,641 per daily road commuter

 

Rail:

TOTAL rail––––-$730 million divide by 1,650 daily commuters = $442,424 per daily road commuter

 

Ratio of cost per rail commuter to road commuter: 16.6:1
