<br />Councilor Taylor <br /> Could the $30 million lottery money be used for schools? <br />Response <br />Please see response to Councilor Pryor Question 3. <br />Is it true that the EmX costs more to operate? <br />Response <br />Below is a summary of operating costs comparing No-Build to projected costs for the West <br />thththth <br />6/7 and the West 13-11 Alternatives for 2015 and 2031. While new EmX service does <br />cost more to operate than regular bus service initially, over time, the efficiency gained through <br />operating in transit priority lanes, replacing less efficient existing service, and attracting and <br />carrying more passengers outweigh the additional costs. <br />Year 2010Year 2015Year 2031 <br />Operating Operating Change vs. Operating Change vs. <br />CostCostNo-BuildCostNo-Build <br />Alternative <br />No-Build$996,000$1,066,000$2,040,000 <br />West 13th to West 11th $1,538,000$472,000$1,616,000-$424,000 <br />West 6th/7th to West 11th$2,032,000$966,000$2,538,000$498,000 <br />All costs in 2009 dollars <br /> <br />Councilor Ortiz <br />I would not put forth TSM as an alternative. It doesn’t do anything to take the buses off the <br />regular roads. We don’t have enough money to pay for the streets we own. Are dedicated lanes <br />really LTD’s responsibility? <br />Response <br />Yes. The cost of maintenance for new facilities that would be built on city right of way as part <br />of the project (including transitways and BAT lanes) would be paid for by LTD through an <br />intergovernmental agreement with the City. <br />Councilor Zelenka <br />I would like to see a list of all of the adjustments you have made to accommodate requests and <br />what the impact it had on the EmX system. <br />Response <br /> <br />February 28, 2011West Eugene EmX Extension 11 <br /> <br />
