Public-Private Partnerships in California - Phase 2, Section 3: Analytical tools

Project Summary

Project description

In this section of the report, we cover the analytical tools necessary to evaluate and plan for priced facilities, principally toll roads, delivered as P3s. In addition to describing the methods - laying out technical descriptions of the analytical tools required for priced facilities - we review past performance of those tools and offer a few suggestions on improving the entire forecasting process for priced facilities. The report is divided into three sections: 1) analytical tools for demand-side factors of priced facilities (like road pricing methodology and demand/revenue forecasting); 2) analytical tools for supply-side factors of priced facilities (like construction and life cycle cost forecasting); and 3) an assessment of the drivers of forecast inaccuracy on both the demand and supply side, and how the entire forecasting process can be improved for priced facilities.
