1 California-Nevada Interstate MaglevProject (CNIMP) Presented to: 87 th Annual Transportation Research Board (TRB) Meeting Presented by: Bob Baldi General Atomics On behalf of M. Neil Cummings President, American Magline Group January 14, 2008 Current Developments in High-Speed Maglev Systems

2 Full Corridor - California Nevada Interstate Maglev SegmentLas Vegas (SRC) to Primm Anaheim to Ontario Las Vegas to Anaheim Distance - km (miles)56 (37)52 (32)420 (260) Travel time – minutes Projected annual riders year M13.9M42.9M

3 TRI High Speed Maglev Selected for CNIMP Early studies selected Transrapid for CNIMP: Shorter trip time compared to wheel-on-rail systems More profitable due to large volume of passenger throughput Greatest promise for commercialization over any other high speed Maglev system.

4 CNIMP Team

5 CNIMP - “The First 40 Miles” Las Vegas to Primm (Initial Segment) Route length40 miles (64 km) Trip time (est.)12 minutes express Top speed500 km/h (311 mph) Investment Cost$1.3 billion (2000$)

6 Project Status (1999 – 2005) U.S. Congress Funding Bill – Transportation Equity Act 21 st Century (TEA- 21), Magnetic Levitation Transportation Technology Deployment Program Pre-construction Planning Studies (Feasibility, Major Investment, & Environmental Studies)  Las Vegas to Primm  Las Vegas to Barstow  Anaheim to Ontario  Ontario to Victorville to Barstow  Full Corridor (Anaheim to Las Vegas) Total funding for this study phase $19.85M

7 Operation Route Local / Regional: SRC – Primm Commuter / Regional: Ontario - Anaheim Intercity: SRC – Anaheim Revenue Guideway Single Track Double Track (Initial Segment Service) 37.6 km (23.3 mi) 18.2 km (11.3 mi) (Initial Segment Service) 0 km 51.6 km (32.0 mi) (Full Corridor) 120 km (74.4 mi) km (185.9 mi) Trip Time14.5 / 12 minutes14.5 / 14.5 minutes87.5 minutes express Operating Headway20 minutes 10 minutes 20 minutes Operating Period6:00 – 1:00 (19 hours) 6:00 – 1:00 (19 hrs) Trips per day114 (one-way trips)228 (one-way trips)114 (one-way trips) Vehicle Fleet 8-section trains 2 Trainsets + 1 Spare (initial operation) 4-section trains 5 Trainsets + 1 Spare (initial operation) 4- & 8-section trains Trainsets + 3 Spares Vehicle Capacity-Seated Seated/Standing 639 passengers 1101 passengers 305 passengers 535 passengers 305 & 639 passengers 535 & 1101 passengers Transportation Capacity: Seated pphpd Seated/standing pphpd Maximum Future Capacity Seated pphpd Seated/Standing pphpd Configuration & Operational Parameters

8 Capital Construction Costs (Full Corridor) Total construction cost for Anaheim to Las Vegas: $12.1B (2000$); Guideway Infrastructure is large fraction of capital cost of High Speed Maglev Guideway Infrastructure

9 Category$M (2000$)% of Total Maintenance of Way39.614% Maintenance of Equipment % Transportation (Including cost of electricity) % Passenger Traffic & Services % General and Administrative % Total % Annual O & M Costs (Full Corridor) Electricity for train movement (~$100M) is major component of O&M cost

10 Benefit to cost ratio is a favarable 1.8

11 Project/Construction Schedule

12 U.S. Congress authorized new transportation-funding bill entitled, “Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act – A Legacy for Users” (SAFE TEA-LU) Federal funding for 2006 through 2009 includes:  $45 M for Las Vegas to Primm  $45 M for Maglev in Eastern U.S. Specific activities planned for CNIMP include:  Environmental Approval  Financial Plans  Finalize Alignment  Engineering/Procurement Planning  Capture Lessons Learned (Shanghai) Present Status FRA, NDOT, Caltrans & CNSSTC perform the studies in accordance with jointly developed, mutually agreed upon MOU.

13 Key Elements of NEPA & Selected Impacts for CNIMP Purpose & Need Alternatives Considered Public Involvement Corridor Overview Probable Impacts (Draft for Las Vegas – Primm)  Air Quality – Reduced automobile pollution  Noise & Vibration – Limited noise mitigation required  Ecology – Possible Mojave desert habitat loss  Endangered Species – Possible desert tortoises to be relocated  Energy – Reduced net emissions (electric power plant versus automobiles)  Visual Resources – Guideway may block signage  Transportation – Reduced traffic congestion/delay on I-15 Freeway  Land Use – Maglev passenger stations attract commercial businesses  Socioeconomic – Opportunity of employees to access work locations

14 Commercialization Plan CNSSTC Entity:  Jointly established by State of CA and NV  Non- profit, tax-exempt corporation CNSSTC Authority:  Conduct Studies*  Perform Design, Construction, Operation, & Maintenance*  Obtain Funding  Acquire Right-of-Way  Issue Debt  Select Route and Passenger Station Locations  Secure (Assist Franchise) Obtain Permits/Certifications * CNSSTC awarded an exclusive franchise for CNIMP to AMG

15 Conditions for Construction Completion of Programmatic Environmental Impact Study (full corridor) Completion of Site-specific EIS (Las Vegas to Primm) Obtain Record of Decision (ROD) Funding authorized by U.S. Congress for construction Secure balance of Financing (tax-exempt bonds, loans, loan guarantees, local and private sources) Permit Approvals (examples): AgencySample Issues Bureau of Land ManagementUse of federally owned land U.S. Army Corps of EngineersStream crossings U.S. Fish & Wildlife ServiceEndangered species Environmental Protection AgencyNational Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Surface Transportation BoardCertificate of Public Convenience (Passenger & freight on same route) State of Nevada/Clark CountyConstruction and Operation Permits

16 Just as the West needed the Transcontinental Railroad to encourage development of the western and mid-western states, and assisted the West in meeting the challenges of the 20th century, the building of the California-Nevada Maglev system will assist the West in meeting the economic, social, quality of life, and environmental challenges of the 21st century.
