Objectives

This FMIP project recognizes the current and potential role that SIBs have as a financial tool to help meet transportation infrastructure needs as well as the benefits of sharing program implementation information and best practices. The primary objectives of the SIB review were to:

• Document program implementation practices
• Identify the factors contributing to successful SIB programs
• Determine barriers or obstacles to implementation
• Highlight "best practices" in the operational/implementation aspects of the program
• Address opportunities to maximize the SIB benefits
• Recommend actions to enhance the effectiveness of the SIB program

In meeting these objectives, the project was intended to provide State DOTs with comprehensive information that could be used to enhance their SIB operations and achieve a higher level of benefits over time. The information may also be useful to States who currently are not participating in the SIB pilot program, but who may have an opportunity to establish a SIB in the future.
