A recent study led by Gordon Lovegrove, a professor at UBC Okanagan, introduces an ambitious plan for the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada – the Okanagan Valley Electric Regional Passenger Rail (OVER PR). The proposed 344-km-long rail line would run from Kamloops to Osoyoos, serving 16 stations along the way, and provide a sustainable transportation solution for the region. Utilizing embedded rails on existing infrastructure like HOV lanes and highway medians, the OVER PR aims to enhance travel efficiency while minimizing land acquisition costs. With an average speed of 86 km/hr, the rail line's end-to-end travel time is projected to be approximately eight hours and 30 minutes. Furthermore, the study highlights the advantages of utilizing hydrogen fuel cell-battery trains, specifically citing the Coradia iLint model by Alstom for its successful operation in Europe and Quebec. The proposed train design offers a zero-emission solution for the transport network. With an initial fleet of 16 vehicles and operating frequencies ranging from every 30 to 60 minutes, the OVER PR could potentially attract a daily ridership of 13,000 passengers upon opening. The economic analysis of the project suggests that over 30 years, the total benefits could outweigh the capital and operating costs by a significant margin, making the OVER PR a lucrative investment for the region's transportation infrastructure. This innovative and sustainable rail project represents a promising step towards enhancing public transportation, reducing carbon emissions, and accommodating the growing tourism and vehicle traffic in the Okanagan Valley.
