More Information

Key Finding #1: Virginia's partnership with Fluor-Transurban satisfies NCPPP's six criteria for a successful public-private partnership and we predict its success.
Key Finding #2: Since highway PPPs are still in their nascent stages of operation and no projects of this magnitude currently exist in Virginia, it is difficult to facilitate an equivalent comparison.
