This book was released on 2001 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 500 people assembled for this Second National Conference on Transportation Finance, which featured fresh information on (a) legislative developments since the 1998 enactment of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, (b) the implementation of state and local programs that did not even exist at the time of the first conference (April 1997), and (c) matters for consideration in the 2003 reauthorization of the nation's highway and transit programs. In addition, this conference included sessions devoted specifically to the intersection of finance and technology, especially the potential for wireless and scanning technologies to provide new opportunities for generating revenues and new partnerships between the public and private sectors. The conference program was designed not only to have speakers impart information but also to provide time for participants to share information. Thus, the heart of the conference was a series of 12 special topics sessions. These sessions addressed a broad range of subjects, from approaches to measuring the costs and benefits of selected financing strategies to real-world examples of public-private partnerships, with contracts and franchise agreements that may include not only design and construction services but also financing, operations, and maintenance. The proceedings are organized as follows: Conference Findings; Summary; Overviews of Current Status and Future Trends; Special Topics; Innovative Finance Beyond the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century; Synthesis; Resource Papers; Glossary and Acronyms; Committee Member Biographical Information; and a List of Participants.

Book Equity of Evolving Transportation Finance Mechanisms

Download or read book Equity of Evolving Transportation Finance Mechanisms written by and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2011-11-11 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As traditional sources of funding for the nation's surface transportation system fail to keep pace with demand, proposals for new sources have proliferated. New funding strategies, such as pricing the use of new and existing roads, and new institutional arrangements, such as public-private partnerships, have emerged over the past few years. As with all transportation policies, these strategies raise questions about equity. To address these concerns, the Transportation Research Board convened an expert committee to provide guidance to public officials about assessing the equity of evolving transportation finance mechanisms. The committee's findings are presented in this report. They are organized under the following chapter headings: (1) Equity and Transportation Finance; (2) How Transportation is Funded and Who Pays; (3) Equity Through Different Lenses; (4) Transportation Finance Equity: Evidence and Experience; (5) Equity and Decision Making: Experience with Road Pricing; and (6) Findings and Recommendations."--pub. desc.

Book excerpt: The conference was organized as a national forum to provide information on new approaches to financing all modes of transportation, to share success stories, and to stimulate discussion on the merits and drawbacks of new techniques, which are known collectively as innovative finance. Innovative finance in transportation is a diversified set of public- and private-sector actions that move beyond the traditional federal-aid and state-aid funding processes. Nearly 500 federal, state, and local government officials and private-sector representatives attended the conference. Conference participants grappled with the growing inadequacy of traditional funding sources and how to find new means to finance the continued maintenance and improvement of the nation's transportation infrastructure.
