All options will result in more road traffic and air pollution, and all will destroy somebody’s home or ruin someone’s local neighbourhood. This is why the community must reject all the RTA’s options and demand the development of a comprehensive public transport strategy instead. Whenever the RTA rolls out a plan for a new motorway they always money to do both.

  • Public-Private Partnerships Best Practices Summary
    ADDENDUM - Public-Private Partnerships Best Practices Summary The United States Congress has passed legislation encouraging states to pursue public- private partnerships (PPPs) to meet their transportation needs. Specifically, congress has authorized a program allowing states to issue up to $15 billion in tax-exempt debt, for use in combination with private equity. This program offers an efficient finance plan for user fee-supported highway infrastructure. So far however, California has not passed the necessary State legislation to qualify for these funds. Until recently, most US transportation agencies (and their advisors) generally favored issuing tax-exempt debt to the exclusion of private equity. However, increasing market evidence suggests that private equity captures the “growth wedge” in future project revenues more effectively than tax-exempt markets. Thus, private equity offers agencies greater leverage on limited tax revenues in capital finance plans. California was once at the forefront of public-private partnership use in transportation. Led by the Orange County Transportation Corridor Agencies, California pioneered the successful development and implementation of these tools. Other states quickly realized the value of such partnerships, however, and today have moved ahead of California in identifying projects and preparing and submitting applications. This is a critical time for California. If our leadership commits to a long-term PPP program, it could attract billions of dollars in private investment for new construction. The following is a look at what vital tools are needed for California to “re-launch” PPPs, criteria that businesses look for in PPPs, and examples of best practices from successful PPPs around the nation and the world.

Abstract Private investors in toll roads sometimes request restrictive covenants such as non-compete clauses, which could prevent the public sector from adding capacity in the region for the life of the toll agreement. This research project examined 20 case studies of toll agreements in the United States and internationally, and developed a set of best practices, which provide alternatives to non-compete clauses. In addition to this research report, three research products were generated. The first product, 5020-P1, is a detailed set of guidelines on best practices in toll agreements. The second product, 5020-P2, is a brochure summarizing alternatives to non-compete clauses.

  • Australian Automobile Association
    PRE-BUDGET SUBMISSION 2021-22 JANUARY 2021 Introduction The Australian Automobile Association (AAA) is the peak organisation for Australia’s motoring clubs (NRMA, RACV, RACQ, RAA, RAC, RACT, AANT) and their 8.5 million members, and advocates for policies that can make transport safe, affordable, and sustainable. In the 2021-22 Budget, the AAA calls on the Australian Government to: 1. improve road safety outcomes via efficient investment in land transport infrastructure 2. improve consumer information regarding vehicle fuel consumption and emissions performance, which will save motorists and businesses money, while also helping the environment 3. support the transition to new vehicle technologies via motoring taxation reform 4. minimise the costs associated with the Government’s work to improve liquid fuel security and ensure that these costs are shared equitably amongst all beneficiaries. 1. SAVE LIVES AS WELL AS JOBS THROUGH INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING Background The AAA welcomed the significant increase in spending on land transport infrastructure in the October 2020 federal Budget, with investment increasing from $9.25 billion in 2020-21 to $12.89 billion in 2023-24. Importantly, included within this funding boost were several initiatives with a focus on road safety. If fully realised, these initiatives will not only deliver vital safety improvements to Australia’s land transport network, but also build an important role for the Australian Government in road safety governance and leadership. AAA Pre-Budget Submission 2021-22 2 Maintain 100% spend of fuel excise for land transport Expend funds within set timeframes Building and maintaining a safe and efficient transport The AAA was pleased to see the Government’s system will be central to Australia’s economic recovery, announcement that funding under the new Road Safety which is why the AAA calls on the Government to Program will be provided to states and territories on a continue allocating 100 per cent of net fuel excise to land “use it or lose it” basis.
