Download or read book Toll Road Traffic and Revenue Forecasts written by Robert Bain and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toll roads, bridges and tunnels represent the most popular class of infrastructure attracting international private finance today. Many deals, however, expose financiers, insurers and other project counterparties to demand risk. This moves traffic and revenue forecasts centre-stage in terms of being able to understand and test the investment proposition - yet the forecasting process itself often remains a mystery. Additionally, there are frequent concerns about predictive reliability. Written specifically for credit analysts, investors and other professionals whose primary expertise lies outside transportation, this book lifts the lid on the 'black box' of traffic and revenue forecasting. The author, Robert Bain (ex-S&P and a civil engineer with 20+ years of forecasting experience) has prepared a straightforward guide which highlights key issues to watch for and suggests ways in which the forecasts can be analysed to improve transparency and investor understanding.

Download or read book Suggested Guidelines for Preparing and Reviewing Toll Road Feasibility Studies in Texas written by Thomas L. Glenn and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the final summary report from a research study focusing on the process of preparing and evaluating feasibility studies for private toll road projects in Texas. State legislation requires that the sponsors of a proposed toll road project submit a feasibility study to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The financial viability of a proposed project, as documented in the feasibility study, must be considered by the Texas Transportation Commission as part of the approval process. This study was undertaken to examine the issues associated with toll road feasibility studies, the approaches being used in other states, and possible procedures TxDOT can use in determining whether a proposed private toll road project will be financially viable. This report describes the toll road project proposal process in other states, as well as information required from investment banks and rating agencies. The report presents suggested guidelines for preparing toll road feasibility studies, reviewing submitted feasibility studies, and examining the financial viability of private toll roads in Texas.

Download or read book Private Financing of Public Transportation Infrastructure written by Wendell C. Lawther and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses a unique combination of best practices and lessons learned, including evaluation and transparency issues not found elsewhere in other texts. Given that P3s are evolving and changing, it contains the most up to date information and review of relevant sources. Other topics that have become more important are reviewed, including the value of benefit cost analysis and the appropriate discount rate to use for value for money analysis. Practices and policies are discussed throughout, highlighting efforts that could lead to successful outcomes. Although transparency is an issue discussed by many, this research indicates that greater transparency would lead to more publicly accepted P3s and ensure greater success. Given recent national news coverage of relevant topics, such as the Highway Trust Fund “running out of money," President Obama’s call for an infrastructure fund, and increasing Congressional interest and testimony, the content of this book is timely. A concurrent theme commonly addressed by other books and commentaries is the complexity of the topic and the lack of understanding of P3s. This research identifies practices and procedures that are innovative and “cutting edge.” Many of the best practices identified are not uniformly adopted by all officials wishing to create P3s. The analysis does not simply describe these practices, but provides insights into the potential advantages of adoption. Experiences in the United States as well as selected international efforts provide a wide range of potential sources from which to draw upon. This book provides a series of case studies and examples, including one chapter devoted to ten studies that were written by several internationally known authors. References to actual experiences are found throughout almost all of the chapters. These case studies reinforce and illustrate relevant points made throughout.
