What is P3?
Public-Private Partnerships (P3) are an alternative method to delivering public infrastructure involving a private investor who designs, builds, finances, operates, and maintains a public infrastructure project under a long-term contract. Today, P3 is relevant in the transportation industry, which includes bridges, tunnels, parking, and transit; water and wastewater projects, and more.
America, P3, and a New Way of Thinking
While P3 is known and well-used worldwide, P3 is only considered innovative in the United States. In Europe, 75% of airline passengers pass through privately owned or operated airport facilities. In Latin America, that number is 60% and in Asia, it's 45%. But in the US and Canada, it's less than 1%. These statistics reveal a tremendous opportunity in the US for the government and investors too.
4 Reasons Why a Public Entity Considers P3
There are four broad reasons why a public sector entity would consider P3:
1. The availability of private sector capital.
2. Opportunity for risk transfer.
3. Private sector responsibility for ongoing maintenance
4. Access to global expertise and best practices
