PPP for transportation: Toolkit for Legislators - This toolkit provides expert guidance, dependable counsel and a compilation of best practices to assist state legislatures as they consider whether and how to pursue PPPs in their states.
Efficient rail transport can be an important catalyst for economic growth and development. Rail transport can stimulate trade, link production sites to regional and international markets, promote national and cross-border integration of regions and facilitate access to labor markets, education and health services.
With the majority of global trade carried by sea, ports are critical gateway infrastructure which connect an entire region and its inland transportation network (i.e. road, rails, inland waterways) to the international market. Therefore, developing strong, well-functioning maritime transport infrastructure is a key element of economic growth for many developing and emerging countries.
Just as there are different types of public-private partnerships (PPPs), PPPs also exist in a variety of industry sectors. Each sector offers unique challenges and opportunities for PPPs due to differing legal, regulatory and investment considerations.
