  • The Evidence Project
    The Evidence Project PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS (P3S) FOUND TO MEET OR EXCEED PUBLIC AGENCY OBJECTIVES IN A STUDY OF SIX MAJOR PROJECTS Study Source: The George Mason University Center for Transportation Public-Private Partnership Policy Report Release Date: August 16, 2017 According to a recent study released by the George Mason University Center for Transportation Public- Private Partnership Policy, six case-study surface transportation infrastructure public-private partnership (P3) projects generally met or exceeded the objectives set by their sponsoring public agencies. Based on documentary sources and stakeholder interviews, public-sector P3 objectives across the six study cases primarily targeted cost reductions for the public sector and/or faster project completion times compared to traditional procurement, ultimately generating substantial improvements across most of the study cases. In addition, public agencies effectively engaged P3 delivery approaches to: 1. Increase access to private sector expertise and innovation. For example, Texas’ LBJ TEXpress Lanes project achieved substantial cost reductions after the P3 procurement process enabled an alternative private sector design proposal. Pursuing private sector expertise and innovation early in the procurement process tended to generate the strongest outcomes. 2. Accelerate project delivery. Colorado´s US 36 Express Lanes case, for instance, employed a P3 approach to overcome the twenty-year funding delay expected under traditional procurement. P3 approaches similarly accelerated Virginia’s I-495 Capital Beltway HOT Lanes and I-95 HOV/HOT Lanes projects by at least six years, likely more. 3. Improve cost and schedule certainty. For instance, P3 approaches delivered Virginia’s I-495 and I- 95 projects on-time and within-budget.
