• Abstract:
  From the 1930's through the 1960's, most of the toll-financed transportation facilities in the U.S. were large, statewide initiatives, such as the New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Kansas Turnpikes. When the toll movement was reborn in the form of innovative financing in the late 1980's and early 1990's many of the proposed projects were mega-projects, such as the Orange county Tollroads and Denver's E-470. The author believes that, although such projects may not represent the leading edge of transportation privatization, these small to mid-size projects are more within the "institutional comfort zone" of state DOT's, regulators, designers, contractors, and investors. Therefore, they are more implementable and may offer more real opportunities to improve our transportation systems.
