Cost breakdown (proposal-scale estimates — see math)

⚠️ All figures below are parametric estimates scaled from the proposal's own budget ($8.5T ÷ 17,000 mi ≈ $500M per mile), not engineering quotes. Methodology is shown so you can check the math.

Item	Basis	Estimate
Terminal construction	Large city — metro tier (range $2–4B)	$3B
Land acquisition	Regional factor 1.5× on $200M base	$300M
Track: Coral Springs → Pompano Beach	9.3 mi × $500M/mi	$4.7B
Annual operations (share)	Staffing, power, maintenance	$60M/yr
Stop total (excl. annual ops)		$8B

Best terminal location (proposed)

The University Drive corridor at the Sawgrass Expressway. University Drive at the Sawgrass Expressway is northwest Broward's main commercial intersection, with highway access in every direction. The terminal would give one of Florida's largest suburbs a park-and-ride-scale station and capture commuters who currently drive the full length of I-95.
