NCSL Releases "Public-Private Partnerships for Transportation: A Toolkit for Legislators" Report
The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) has released the report "Public-Private Partnerships for Transportation: A Toolkit for Legislators." The text of the report is short and concise (32 pages, with multiple appendices), yet provides a thorough overview of the the pros and cons of PPPs. It also sets forth nine principles for consideration by legislators in deciding if and how to pursue public-private partnerships.
The report is very well sourced, with examples of how projects and jurisdictions addressed matters that affected their programs and projects. The appendices include a number of resources for use in pursuing public-private partnerships. Materials prepared by Nossaman are frequently cited by the NCSL among the resources and appendices.
