Speed Train Service Between North Texas, the Brazos Valley and Greater Houston
FOR TEXAS CENTRAL INTERNAL USE ONLY TRANSFORMING TRAVEL IN TEXAS Assessing passenger demand for high-speed train service between North Texas, the Brazos Valley and Greater Houston An updated analysis of consumer demand and ridership FOR TEXASMARKETING CENTRAL INTERNALCONTENT USE ONLY ABOUT THE PROJECT The design, construction, finance and operation of a new high-speed passenger train line connecting Houston and North Texas has been under development since 2002. This market was chosen as the most attractive after reviewing 97 pairs of cities and their potential for commercial success. The project expects to begin construction after federal permits are granted and financial close is achieved, at the earliest the end of 2019. The train will enable passengers to travel between Houston and North Texas in 90 minutes, including an intermediary stop in the Brazos Valley. This transformational project will provide a safe, productive, fast and reliable choice for travelers between the country’s fourth and fifth largest economies. These metropolitan regions collectively produce 6% of US GDP, and contain close to 50% of Texas’ population and 5% of our national population. Connecting these cities via high-speed train will not only service an existing travel market that is only increasing in size, but will create a super economy larger than that of Spain or Mexico. The location of this project is well suited in that Texas is the second largest state economy in the US and is growing at historic rates. With the sustained yearly population increase, the need for infrastructure is critical to preserve the future economic vitality of the State. -
16 Million People Travel Between Houston and North
MARKETING CONTENT TRANSFORMING TRAVEL IN TEXAS Assessing passenger demand for high-speed train service between North Texas, the Brazos Valley and Greater Houston 1 MARKETING CONTENT ABOUT THE PROJECT The design, construction, finance and operation of a new high-speed passenger train line connecting Hous- ton and North Texas has been under development for five years. The project expects to begin construction in 2018, and will enable passengers to travel between Houston and North Texas in 90 minutes, including a stop in the Brazos Valley. This transformational project will provide a safe, productive, fast and reliable choice for travelers between Texas’ two largest economic hubs, using proven, world-class technology. The increased mobility between two of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the US made possible by the Texas Bullet Train will deliver substantial and long-lasting benefits to both the state and local economies. Texans will have a safe, productive and reliable choice for travel between Houston, the Brazos Valley and North Texas. ABOUT THE STUDY In January 2016, Texas Central appointed L.E.K. Consulting to conduct a study exploring the opportunity for a high-speed train service in Texas and the benefits it could bring to Texans. L.E.K. has developed a commercially-driven, technology-enabled forecast for passenger demand including: • Estimating the market size and growth rate for travel between the two metropolitan areas; • Undertaking primary market research with input from more than 2,000 Texans to understand local travel habits and determine the Texas Bullet Train’s potential share of the travel market; and • Building a robust and highly granular forecasting model to predict future passenger demand under a range of assumptions and different scenarios. -

Fuel Cell Electric Buses Are in Operation Between Versailles and Jouy-En-Josas
INFORMATIONAL April 2020 Fuel Cell Electric Buses An attractive value proposition for zero emission buses in France Zero–Emission Fuel Cell Buses for France Van Hool fuel cell electric buses are in operation between Versailles and Jouy-en-Josas 2 Executive Summary France has recognized the importance of sustainable transportation. With the knowledge that mobility is a key contributor to air pollution, there is immense pressure to reduce CO2 emis- sions. Evidence of this is the ban on diesel and petrol car sales from 2040 and the strategy for clean mobility put forward in the “Loi de Transition Energétique pour la Croissance Verte.” French cities are also leading initiatives to reduce local emissions, such as Paris’ ambition to ban diesel cars as early as 2023. There is no doubt that the future of public transportation is going to be zero emission. Transit agencies and operators in France are being called to find ways to improve air quality in their communities while maintaining quality of service. The choice that faces cities and transit au- thorities is what technology to deploy. Transit operators can consider two zero emission elec- tric bus solutions: fuel cell electric buses (FCEBs) or battery electric buses (BEBs). FCEBs are electric buses which offer all the benefits of BEBs while facilitating large scale de- ployments. FCEBs fueled with hydrogen are the only zero-emission technology to match diesel fleets with complete route flexibility, short refueling time and similar depot space utilization. With more than 15 years on the road and millions of kilometers in passenger service, FCEBs have proven their performance. -
