Private Sector Involvement in Urban Transportation

摘要

The report documents ways to involve the private sector in the planning and implementation of highway and transit systems, and recommends procedures for improving public/private partnerships in urban transportation at the State, regional, and local levels. The report provides a broad overview of the opportunities available and briefly reviews a wide variety of techniques followed by successful applications in 20 cities across the Nation. These case studies cover the highway and transit modes and represent all major groups of private sector participants, including local businesses and community groups, major developers and transit service providers. Six of those cases were studied in greater detail.
