Operations

Hours of Service

When would the streetcar run?

The current proposal calls for the streetcar to run seven days a week with a 10-minute frequency during peak hours.

  • Weekdays 7:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.
  • Saturdays 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.
  • Sunday 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Ridership

How many people would ride?

Experts estimate 1,200 to 1,600 trips on an average weekday, for a total ridership of 400,000 to 500,000 trips per year.

Costs

What are the annual costs?

The annual operation and maintenance cost for Phase 1 of the streetcar system is approximately $1.2 million.

Power

How would it be powered?

The streetcar would be powered by an overhead electrical system.

  • System wires would be approximately 19 feet off the ground and would power both modern and replica streetcars.
  • Poles would be designed to blend in with the historic downtown district.
