High Capacity Transit System Plan - <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Report</strong> June 2009<br />
Refined Corridor Assessment<br />
5.4.2 Capital Costs<br />
Table 22 summarizes the capital cost estimates for the HCT alternatives. It is evident from the<br />
table that the mixed‐traffic BRT alternatives are the least costly. BRT in dedicated lanes on<br />
Broadway Boulevard is also among the least costly alternatives because dedicated lanes already<br />
exist in most <strong>of</strong> the corridor or will be constructed as part <strong>of</strong> a programmed widening project.<br />
LRT and streetcar alternatives have the highest cost because <strong>of</strong> the trackwork, power delivery<br />
infrastructure, vehicles that cost significantly more than buses, and the need for special<br />
garage/storage facilities.<br />

highest annual operating cost, followed closely by Grant Road BRT in mixed traffic. The lowest in<br />
annual operating cost is LRT in the Oracle Road Corridor, and the next lowest is LRT on the<br />
