STREETCAR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
POTENTIAL
•In Portland, $3.5 billion was invested within 2 blocks of the initial streetcar
alignment
•In Seattle, $2.4 billion in investment occurred within 3 blocks of the
streetcar line
•Tampa gained $1 billion in investment within 3 blocks of its streetcar line
•Little Rock attracted $816 million in capital investment along its 3-mile
River Rail streetcar corridor within 10 years
•Santa Ana/Garden Grove investment potential being evaluated as part of the
next phase of the project.
•Preliminary analysis anticipates a similar level of investment as Little Rock.

•The Hartford New Britain Buswayis estimated to cost $60.9 million/mile*
