Public-Private Transportation Act Guidelines

The Virginia Department of Transportation has revised the Public Private Transportation Act (PPTA) of 1995 (§ 56-556 et seq. of the Code) implementation guidelines in accordance with the amendments enacted by the 2005 General Assembly. The goals established for the implementation guidelines are to encourage investment in the Commonwealth by private entities by creating a more stable investment climate and increasing transparency and public involvement in the procurement process. The implementation guidelines promote competition to create multimodal and intermodal solutions; increase flexibility in the development of interim agreements to accelerate required activities; and required greater commitments or guarantees by proposers with mandatory risk sharing.
