Public-Private Partnerships in Transportation—Airports, Water Ports, Rail, Buses, and Taxis: An Overview

Abstract

There is strong evidence that the need for infrastructure investment will continue to grow in the future. However, there is also justifiable concern over the ability to obtain funds to support these investments. One option for obtaining these necessary funds is the use of public-private partnerships (P3s). This chapter summarizes a series of papers contained in the book entitled Public Private Partnerships in Transportation, Vol I: Airports, Water Ports, Rail, Buses, and Taxis which discuss the potential use of P3s to provide these needed funds.
