Private Sector Investment
Types of InvestmentLong term lease to operate existing facilitiesLong-term lease to operate existing facilities e.g. Chicago Skyway, Virginia Pocahontas Parkway,
Indiana Toll Road System
Capacity expansion and operation of existing facilities e.g. Texas’s I-635
Construction and operation of new facilities e.g. Dulles Greenway, California SR 125, Texas Hwy 130

Research Questions
To what extent can private sector investment resources help mitigate/solve existing transportation problems?
What are the societal benefits and costs of private-sector involvement in transportation financing?
How should we introduce and regulate private toll roads to maximize public welfare?

Test NetworkTwin Cities MinnesotaTwin Cities, Minnesota
7776 nodes, 20486 Links, ~ 6 million trips daily
Assumptions for the Test Network
Private roads estimate demand elasticities adaptively
Once a private road is built, the parallel public road will not be tolled, and will not be expanded for 10 years
Capacity expansion is discrete (1-lane, 2-lane, etc.)
When driving on public roads, drivers pay $0.056/kmg p , p y $

ConclusionsAnalytical methods for evaluating the welfare and financial impact of private toll roads are available and can be applied to real-world scenarios. ca be app ed to ea o d sce a os
Don’t expect private sector investment resources to eliminate congestion.
Private toll road projects profitable in the long run do not necessarily guarantee near-term profits.
If network effects are ignored, private investors tend to charge overly high tolls that work against profit
i i ti lmaximization goals.
Private investment improves social welfare, even when it is minimally regulated
16
it is minimally regulated.
Proper regulation distribute more benefits to users.
