• Abstract:
  A variety of factors have negatively affected states’ ability ; to pay for necessary maintenance of transportation ; infrastructure and to build new capacity to keep ; pace with and encourage economic development and job ; creation. These factors include changing economic conditions, ; a delayed federal transportation reauthorization bill, ; the declining value of the fuel tax (due to a number of factors) ; and a reluctance to increase it, and growing infrastructure ; needs. In this environment, public-private partnerships ; (PPPs or P3s) have been increasingly studied and pursued ; by state policymakers as one alternative method, among ; others, to procure transportation infrastructure improvements. ; Such partnerships combine a leveraged mix of public ; and private dollars to better bridge the gap between transportation ; needs and the financial resources available to meet ; those needs.
