VEHICLE PROPULSION (POWER)

Mill Avenue: University Drive to Rio Salado Parkway Propulsion System Pros Cons

ON-WIRE • Proven technology • Requires overhead wires on Mill Avenue between • Flexibility in vehicle choice/size Rio Salado and University • Lower vehicle and operating costs • Higher infrastructure cost

OFF-WIRE (BATTERY) • No overhead wires on Mill Avenue • Unproven technology (no other rail system in the United between Rio Salado and University States currently uses off-wire technology) • Lower infrastructure cost • Higher vehicle and operating costs • Uncertain if off-wire power sufficient to power and cool the streetcar vehicles • Charging stations may be required Tempe Streetcar
