According to ASCE's Report Card for America's Infrastructure, the price tag to address all of America's infrastructure needs would be over $2 trillion over 5 years. As the government indebtedness has risen at the federal, state and local levels, finding viable infrastructure financing alternatives has become a necessity.
This presentation offers an insight into some of these financing alternatives by reviewing publicly available studies and examples from various parts of the world. Attila Boydak introduces three new alternatives, namely Build America Bonds, National Infrastructure Bank and Public Private Partnerships (PPP) and explains their differences from the current process.
Various examples and hypotheses are reviewed from past applications and conclusions about the effectiveness and efficiencies of these alternatives are derived.
