CALTRAIN EXTENSION TO MONTEREY COUNTYALTERNATIVES ANALYSIScosts and the net present values of the overall system improvements assume a discount rate ofseven percent. Benefits are computed for a 20-year period from 2011 to 2030.For the Caltrain <strong>Extension</strong> Alternative, these findings indicate the following:1. Total benefits ($203,491,430) exceed total costs ($102,098,450) by $101,392,980 (FY 2007dollars). This benefit/cost (B/C) ratio is 1.99.2. The net present value of these benefits, assuming a discount rate of seven percent is$77,412,425. The net present value of implementation costs is $87,840,176. This B/C ratio is0.88.3. The payback 15 period, at a discount rate of seven percent, is 23.5 years.Table 8-32Life-Cycle Benefits and Costs of Caltrain <strong>Extension</strong> AlternativeYear Total Benefits Total Costs Net Present Value Net Present Value Benefits Net Present Value Costs200720082009201020112012201320142015201620172018201920202021202220232024202520262027202820292030————4,845,6555,406,5945,967,5326,528,4717,089,4097,650,3488,211,2868,772,2259,333,1639,894,10210,455,04011,015,97811,576,91612,137,85412,698,79213,259,73013,820,66814,381,60614,942,54415,503,4873,995,24318,273,70428,102,20851,747,296————————————————————1.0000.9350.8730.8160.7630.7130.6660.6230.5820.5440.5080.4750.4440.4150.3880.3620.3390.3170.2960.2770.2580.2420.2260.2113,697,2353,854,9023,974,3764,067,2374,126,0364,161,7894,171,3334,166,8074,143,9244,106,0524,056,5563,987,7843,924,5753,847,7003,758,8423,672,9453,565,7323,480,3493,377,0153,271,2363,995,24317,085,91324,533,22742,225,793—————————203,491,430 102,098,450 77,412,425 87,840,176———————————Source: ParsonsFor the Express Bus Alternative, the benefit-cost findings are as follows:4.
