2017
DeCorla-Souza, Patrick
In a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement providing for financing of highway investmentand operations, it will be important to ensure that the public does not perceive that the privatesector partner is attempting to maximize profits through excessive peak charges while the publicagency does nothing to relieve congestion on free facilities. This paper presents a new PPPmodel to address this issue, discusses the benefits to be gained from such models, and suggestspotential “corridor level” pilot demonstration projects. The paper then assesses the financialself-sufficiency of a region-wide application of the concepts without reliance on public taxsupport for implementation.
