ARTBA's 20th Annual PPV in Transportation Conference set

July 25, 2008

This Sept. 15-16, hundreds of industry executives will gather in Washington, D.C., for the American Road & Transportation Builders Association’s (ARTBA) milestone 20th Annual Public-Private Ventures in Transportation Conference. If you or your organization is involved or interested in the Public-Private Partnerships—or P3—market, this is an event you won’t want to miss.

The political landscape is changing: How will a new Administration and new Congress address transportation financing? What role will P3s play in next year’s important rewrite of the federal surface transportation law? More important, what’s happening out in the state legislatures, where the “rubber meets the road” on transportation financing choices? These questions and more will be covered during the two-day event.

Key sessions include:

Drafting policy to protect the public interest;

Articulating P3 value to the public;

The value of risk transfer;

Pension funds as investors;

Emerging P3 markets, including the potential from a federal “Critical Commerce Corridors” (3C) initiative;

Case studies from across the U.S.; and

Mode-specific PPV issues for roads, highways, airports and public transportation.

The PPV conference will include:

State and local legislators, and government officials;

Investment bankers, equity firm and pension fund executives;

Transportation and finance lawyers;
