Data Elements for Project Inventory

A detailed inventory has been compiled of projects that have been advanced under one or more of the U.S. DOT innovative finance initiatives since 1994. The inventory records the available information on the four categories of innovative finance tools, i.e., TE-045, GARVEEs, Federal credit, and state-based credit, as well as relevant information on the capitalization of the SIBs and the GARVEE bonds issued. The inventory was compiled from readily available data sources, including Federal data collection and reporting sys-tems and through direct contact with the states. Data were collected through the spring of 2001, and represent information current as of that time.

The gathered information was captured in a single Microsoft Excel workbook. The Excel workbook contains a number of worksheets that track the unique data elements per-taining to each of the four categories of projects - TE-045, GARVEEs, Federal credit, and state-based credit - as well as the capitalization data elements in terms of the SIBs and GARVEEs.

Data elements included for each of the project categories are described below.



[1] Where more than one innovative finance tool was utilized to fund a particular project, the financing tool was classified as "multiple tools." Four "tool" columns were included in which the different finance tools can be specified up to a maximum of four.
