Public-Private Partnerships

As the cost of providing public infrastructure projects continue to rise, the Regional Transportation District (RTD) is looking at innovative financing options for delivering the FasTracks program within the general scope, timeframe and financial capacity approved by voters in 2004.  Public-Private Partnerships, or PPPs as they are often called, is one concept that RTD is pursuing in the implementation of FasTracks.  A PPP is described by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) as a contract wherein a single private entity, typically a consortium of private companies, is responsible and financially liable for performing all or a significant number of functions in connection with a project.
