The use of transportation PPPs in Canada has been growing steadily in the past few years. Transportation PPPs are used extensively throughout the world and can provide significant benefits to governments looking to share capital costs and transfer risks.
The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships has assembled several resources to assist members and those interested in transportation PPP projects.
