NCSL Fall Forum Meeting on PPPs for Transportation
San Diego, Calif.
Dec. 11, 2009
The NCSL Foundation Partners Project on Public-Private Partnerships (P3s/PPPs) exists to link legislators, legislative staff and interested private sector entities to analyze legislators’ needs and to develop nonpartisan, balanced, useful materials to aid legislators’ decision-making regarding PPPs in transportation, both in their respective states and as they consider state-federal relationships.
This meeting at NCSL's 2009 Fall Forum in San Diego featured a guest presentation by Edward Farquharson, project director of Partnerships UK. The group also reviewed the first draft of a “toolkit,” which will serve as a resource for state legislatures as they assess the appropriateness of PPPs for addressing transportation infrastructure needs.
