NPS Transportation Innovative Finance Options.

摘要

This paper provides a summary of innovative transportation finance techniques and discusses their applicability to the National Park Service (NPS). The primary finding of this analysis is that the NPS has already implemented innovative finance techniques, including most of the mechanisms that are legally authorized and relevant to its mission. The deployment of additional innovative financing techniques would require congressional support and legislation, and in some cases would require state and local government support for such methods as value capture. The paper notes that most innovative finance techniques afforded to state and local governments are not applicable to federal agencies.
