16. Abstract
Public-private partnership (PPP) programs for highway infrastructure are not widely used in the UnitedStates. The Federal Highway Administration, American Association of State Highway and Transportation
Ofcials, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program sponsored a scanning study to collect
information about PPP programs for highway infrastructure in Australia, Portugal, Spain, and the UnitedKingdom, where PPP experience is more extensive.The scan team learned that PPPs are an effective strategy for delivering highway projects, and they are
service arrangements as much as nancial ones. The team observed that potential PPP projects must be
analyzed and structured thoughtfully to preserve public interests and that managing the partnershipover the life of the contract is critical to providing the services expected.Team recommendations for U.S. implementation include convening workshops, developing trainingguidelines, establishing an expert task group, developing a research strategy, and publishing principlesand guideline documents on PPP topics.
