| (a) Unless otherwise noted, costs are shown in escalated (year of construction) dollars and are based on most recent cost estimates. For projects in the early stages of Preliminary Engineering, the estimate is likely to change as more detailed engineering is performed. For projects in System Planning, cost estimates may change significantly. | ||||||||
| (b) A "high" rating has been assigned to projects that would save 10,000 or more hours of travel time per day, compared with the TSM alternative. "Medium" was given to projects that would save zero to 10,000 hours. "Low" indicates projects that would increase travel time. | ||||||||
| (c) EPA classifications for ozone and carbon monoxide are shown to illustrate the severity of the region's air quality problem. In order of severity, the ozone classifications are: extreme, severe, serious, moderate, marginal, sub-marginal, transitional and attainment. Carbon monoxide classifications are: serious, moderate, not classified and attainment. The Project Profiles in Appendix A present data (where available) on each project's impact on emissions. | ||||||||
| (d) A "high" rating has been assigned to projects that would reduce the systemwide operating cost per passenger by 5 percent or more, compared with the TSM alternative. "Medium" was assigned to projects that would reduce operating cost per passenger by zero to 5 percent. "Low" indicates projects that would increase operating costs per passenger. | ||||||||
| (e) The local share and financial ratings shown in this table are based on the financial plans developed by the local project sponsors and financial reviews performed by FTA's financial consultants, Booz Allen and Public Financial Management, Inc. The criteria used to rate the local financial plans are described in Appendix A. | ||||||||
