\u2022 The plan shows well over $2 Billion dollars per year is achievable. However, one must be exceptionally cautious with the data. While the data supports remarkable revenue opportunity, it is folly to expect contributions to the plan will be on these averages the first few years the plan rolls out. Consequently, conservative planning is prudent and was incorporated in the revenue expectations. To evaluate revenue expectations conservatively, compounding percentage reductions were calculated into the plan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Whew, ok. I was worried about compounding percentage reductions, but Gino has it covered:<\/p>\n
\u2022 With substantial conservatism employed, the plan shows just over $1 Billion revenue per year is possible, after it is fully adopted. Adoption time can take three to eighteen months. Translation: Under this plan and with-in a year and a half Nevada could be generating nearly $1 Billion dollars of additional revenue.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I am eager to get started and Go Fast but first, I have a few questions:<\/p>\n
How is this $25 fee which gives you the freedom to legally drive like a mad man on Nevada\u2019s highways and byways going to be collected? Do you actually pay daily? Or is this something you pay on an annual basis (which would work out to $7,800 per year based on 52 six-day weeks)? Can you pay with a credit card? On a website?<\/p>\n
Is there an office at which you\u2019ll have to go stand in line? Because, being a person who loves to Go Fast, I am totally willing to shell out eight grand a year for the privilege of doing so, but I really hate waiting in long, slow lines so that might hold me back.<\/p>\n
Also, who will log all the driver data into the system and issue the Go Fast Passes? And do the passes come in different colors? And how much will the administration of all that cost? And did Gino remember to apply a compounding percentage increase to that side of the equation (because we all know that is how bureaucracy works)?<\/p>\n
And how will highway patrol know you have paid your fee as you go zipping by at 90 mph? He won\u2019t be able to see a decal or anything, so will he pull you over and then let you off without a ticket when you show him your Go Fast Pass? And doesn\u2019t that kind of defeat the joy of driving fast in the first place?<\/p>\n
Or will there be some high tech device on your car that tells his radar device know you have paid your Go Fast fee? And how much will those devices and the new tricked-out radar devices cost? Is that built into the fee, or is there an additional equipment cost?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sure Gino has it all worked out, so I\u2019ve emailed his campaign and will report back with answers.<\/p>\n
