Financing Options for an Expanded Seattle Streetcar System and Network

Completed in April 2007 for the Seattle Urban League and the Seattle Streetcar Alliance, this two-part study was developed to guide decisions regarding the financing of a network of streetcar lines in and near Downtown Seattle, Washington. Part I of the study addressed the potential revenue and funding sources for the operations, maintenance, and capital costs of developing the streetcar lines. Part II of the study examined the social and economic characteristics of neighborhoods and districts that would affect the existing and planned network of streetcar lines.
