Transit Construction Costs Data Explorer

This dashboard is a visual representation of Eno’s global database of rail transit projects from the recent reports Saving Time and Making Cents: A Blueprint for Building Better Transit and On the Right Track: Rail Transit Project Delivery Around the World.

The database includes projects constructed between 1978 and 2024, adjusted for inflation using Engineering News Record’s Construction Cost Index and adjusted for construction cost parity using purchasing power parities as determined by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Projects are categorized based on the Federal Transit Administration’s modal definitions. In order to further standardize between countries and projects, the construction costs exclude the cost of rolling stock and support facilities (i.e. storage and maintenance facilities). Take careful note of the filters on the right side of the dashboard. By default, all categories are selected. Eno regularly updates the database as new projects are completed and new information becomes available. Therefore, as new projects are added, aggregate statistics will vary from Eno’s published reports.
