The Spanish highway system is managed by the director general of roads, who reports to the secretary general for transportation in the Ministerio de Fomento (or Depart- ment of Development), so no distinct national highways agency or department exists. The director general has oversight of the national PPP program. Autonomous communities also have their own roadway agencies. The government delegate, who works on behalf of the Ministry of Public Works, plays a key role in administering and managing individual PPP contracts.
