2008 Transportation Infrastructure Roundtable:

Funding is the Alpha and Omega of all Transportation Needs - Can Public/Private Partnerships Fill the Funding Gap?

Monday, August 25, 2008
1:30 pm – 3:30 pm

Space Theatre

Participants: Rosa DeLauro, Jane Garvey, Richard Gephardt, Angela Glover-Blackwell, Steve Heminger, Terence O'Sullivan, Robert Puentes, Gov. Rendell Edward, Timothy Romer, R.T. Rybak, Janette, Sadik-Khan, Ron Sims

The 2008 Transportation Infrastructure Roundtable is designed as a discussion among ten to twelve participants. A facilitator will lead the Roundtable, encouraging a dynamic, substantive interchange among participants. Seated in a venue with a capacity for 550 persons, the audience for the Transportation Infrastructure will include individuals with a particular interest in transportation infrastructure.

Roundtable Focus

In this context, topics of the 2008 Transportation Infrastructure Roundtable may include:

The National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission reported in January, 2008 that the annual investment required improving the condition and performance of all modes of surface transportation ranges between $225 and $340 billion over the next 50 years? Currently less than 40% of the minimum amount is being invested.

  1. What funding partnerships have been successful or unsuccessful across the country?
  2. What types of public/private partnerships can meet the need for such an extraordinary amount of funding
  3. What are the financial and legal tools available to structure these partnerships?
  4. What kinds of successful financial tools and partnerships will be available to us in the current market turmoil.
