For job creation numbers, the reality is that nobody has statistics on integrated advanced mobility numbers. We do have statistics we can use as rough guides. Automotive industry tends to work with a 1:9 ratio, so $1 invested results in $9 down the line in income, or one job to nine jobs through the supply chain. Is that a perfect analogy for transit? No. Transit has no data right now that it has crunched about job creation. We do know that innovation in a small to medium-sized enterprise, whether it is in automotive or heavy duty rail, tends to have a multiplier effect from 1:5 to 1:9. Those are the numbers we're working with.
