What Are Our Capacity Needs? Divisions identified needs of $9 billion. $4 billion in five year plan. Development of $1.5 billion - 10 year plan
Impact of ATRIP Program $1.2 Billion : $966m federal + $242m match Mobile County - $50.2 million (#2) Baldwin County - $34.2 million (#6) Will take $90 million from future program
We currently have sufficient funds to maintain what we have and do a minor amount of capacity. Trend is toward a maintenance only operation. Program Allocation Conclusions
Public Private Partnerships PPPs or P3s Are P3s the answer?
Who 24 states and the District of Columbia 26 states have not initiated a P3 transportation project Alabama is included in the states that have P3 projects
How Many At least 96 transportation projects in 22 years worth a total $54.3 B Half (48) of these projects occurred in just four statesFlorida (10), California (11), Texas (18), Colorado (9)
Significance The P3 market share of total U.S. capital investment in highways by all levels of government since 2008 is about 2 percent Since 2008, P3 account for about 11 percent of total national capital investment in new highway capacity in 2011
Myth P3s do not provide new or free money for building transportation projects P3s do not provide project funding, they provide project financingborrowed money that must be reimbursed, at a profit, to the lender. The investment is funded through government levied taxes and user fees, or through public borrowingdebt which must be repaid with interest with public funds generated by future tax or fee collections

The Future P3s are best suited for large projects with a high probability for strong revenue generation over many years Perhaps two to four new P3 projects per year in the U.S. would be a reasonable assumption for the future Source: The Role of Private Investment in Meeting U.S. Transportation Infrastructure Needs by William Reinhardt, publisher and editor of Public Works Financing for ARTBA Transportation Development Foundation, May 2011
