• Our current PPP experience is limited in [state], but we anticipate that the Turnpike Authority will utilize this approach a great deal.
• No
• Encountered difficulties with survey program-Q15, I entered budget as $14 M and was not recognized. Took me a while to figure out where. Same for last Q-I entered our postal code (as we don't have zip codes). Same error statement was given as field is only designed for numbers (no letters). All is good tho!
• The small size of [DOT]'s capital program and limited applicability of road tolling in [state] have prevented us from making use of PPPs so far. Nonetheless, we are developing this agency's capacity to invite and evaluate PPP proposals.
• [DOT] is interested in pursuing innovative financing mechanisms that are viable considering the rural characteristics of our state. If vehicle use or road user fees are pursued as a source of revenue for the Federal program, the distribution of those funds must reflect the need to invest in rural state transportation systems that provide critical connectivity between the country's population and industry centers.
• No attention to definition of PPP
• THE RESPONSES ARE NOT INTENDED TO APPLY TO INQUIRIES ABOUT TOLL ROADS
• There is no enabling legislation for PPPs in [state] other than tolling authority and design-build authority. No opportunities for PPPs in [state] have proven to be viable options.
• Currently, [DOT] is not actively pursuing the use of PPPs for delivery of our highway program.
• We have expressed several times our concern with the growing federal emphasis on PPP at the expense of continued federal support. In smaller states, we do not find this helpful and are scrambling to find opportunities for using PPP when our focus is on maintenance/preservation, we aren't building new capacity, and our AADT and populations don't appear sufficient to support most PPP constructs.
• We are in the process of trying to obtain PPP legislation. Most of our answers are predicated on our work to gather data for this and the feasibility studies along with our pilot experience on the [Project] with [firm] as our private partner.
