PROJECT STATUS
To date, the Oasis project team has completed assessments of passenger rail technologies, the Riverfront Transit Center and the condition of the project corridor. The team has also completed environmental and demographic studies, economic modeling of the project corridor and has started the Station Area Planning process.
Currently, the Oasis project team is focusing its efforts on Station Area Planning, identifying a preferred alternative for Segment 1 and performing additional economic analyses and environmental studies. The Oasis Tier 2 study is scheduled to conclude in 2012 with the identification of:
• The type of trains that will be used
• Conceptual rail service requirements
• Station locations and station area land use plans
• A conceptual financing plan
• A locally-preferred rail transit alignment alternative
