Every $10 million in capital investment in public transportation yields $30 million in increased business sales.

Home values in areas located near high-frequency public transit performed 42% better than other areas.

1 GCL train will accommodate 300 passengers who otherwise might be driving alone.

Public transportation’s overall effects save the United States 4.2 billion gallons of gasoline annually.

1 in 4 households located near transit does not own a vehicle.

Communities that invest in public transit reduce the nation’s carbon emissions by 37 million metric tons annually.

The GCL will maximize existing transportation assets while minimizing impacts to the environment.

Transit for All — Offers mobility options to individuals without access to a vehicle.

Promotes Healthy Lifestyles — GCL stations are located in existing communities with several walk-up stations.

Safer than Driving — Statistically, train-related accidents happen at a lesser rate and with much lower passenger fatality rates than car travel does.

Connecting People — To work, school, shopping, doctors, entertainment, and each other by removing barriers to access.

Improves Commuter Productivity — Read a book, play on the phone, prep for a meeting, cram for a test, or stare out the window; avoid the stress of driving and regain the time.

Safety Enhancements – Safety improvements will include traffic calming measures, sidewalk enhancements, lighting and security features, and intersection alterations executed with the intent of reducing accidents and keeping pedestrians and property safe.

With less cars on the road, travel becomes faster, cleaner, and, arguably, more efficient. How many passengers does each mode of transportation accommodate?
