North San Diego County Transit District Service Area
The SPRINTER – 2005
Background1987 SANDAG Highway 78 Corridor Study (determined rail service in corridor is feasible)1987 TRANSNET 1/2% sales tax approved1992 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 millionKeeps project costs down
The SPRINTER – 2005
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
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
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 / MetrolinkLink to BREEZELink to Interstate 15 and future Bus Rapid TransitProvide bike trail in corridor More access to local schools, jobs and shopping

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 materialSelf-propelled diesel - no catenary required
