Examining the Options: The Decision-Making Process

1.  Does the government have a clear sense of the funding gap in its infrastructure needs?

2.  Have all revenue options been examined and compared, both with and without private-sector involvement?

3.  Is there understanding and agreement about the goals of raising revenue and the ways in which dollars will be distributed among projects or needs?

4.  Has the legislature adopted enabling legislation to signal its willingness to consider a concession agreement with the private sector?
