Comments related to the respondents who specified "Other":

• Use frequently

• None

• Commission issued bonds

• We have considered TIFIA and creation of non-profit and quasi-public entities, but have yet to use find the appropriate application.

• We have worked a number of PPP with communities around [state]. When businesses develop they install turn lanes and signals at their cost. Communities have also added dollars to projects that facilitate the movement of traffic.

• [DOT] uses pass-thru financing tolls that are privately financed and publicly repaid.

• [DOT] has had design-build projects-but they are developed for accelerated construction- not as a financing mechanism.

• Revenue bond financing

• Infrastructure Bank

• We are in the process of trying to get PPP legislation passed.

• [State] has the statutory authority to utilize a Design-Build-Finance (DBF) approach to advance projects programmed in the adopted work program of the department.

• Enterprise funded airport
