Summary:

Transportation agencies around the world continue to face fiscal challenges caused by the growing gap between the costs of preserving and expanding highway infrastructure and available highway program funding. The lack of dedicated public funding sources for transportation (in most other countries high motor fuel taxes are generally used non-transportation social programs) and the burdens placed on current transportation infrastructure (both highway and rail) by a growing global economy has long prompted transportation policymakers overseas, especially in Western Europe, to develop and apply alternative ways to finance and deliver needed transportation infrastructure. This book explores public-private transportation partnerships in detail.
