Preface >> |
I am pleased to present the Federal Highway Administration's Innovative Finance Primer, a handbook describing Federal policies and programs that can help you bridge the investment gap between available resources and transportation infrastructure needs.
Over the past several years, we have been working with our public and private partners to explore and implement an array of innovative techniques and tools for financing surface transportation improvements. Our track record of successful application of these financing approaches is demonstrated by the case studies included in this primer. By sharing comprehensive information on how and why to use the tools, we hope to build a better understanding of these non-traditional financing methods.
I believe you will find this primer to be a useful resource. Our commitment is to continue working with the transportation community, both public and private, to expand project financing opportunities to help meet the Nation's transportation investment needs.
Mary
E. Peters, Federal Highway Administrator
