Public-Private Transportation Act
The Public-Private Transportation Act (PPTA) of 1995 allows private entities to enter into agreements to construct, improve, maintain and operate transportation facilities.
PPTA guidelines – The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), in coordination with other state transportation agencies, the office of the attorney general and the secretary of transportation’s office have drafted updated PPTA guidelines in accordance with amendments enacted by the 2005 General Assembly.
VDOT posted the draft version of the guidelines for public review and comment during the period Aug. 18 through Sept. 19, 2005. VDOT and the other state transportation agencies are reviewing the public comments. The secretary of transportation finalized the guidelines on Oct. 31, 2005, in accordance with the code.
Section 1 of the PPTA guidelines has been amended to reflect the incorporation of conflict-of-interest procedures and a written process to enable the Office of the Secretary of Transportation to make an early determination that a proposal meets the goals, principles and priorities of the commonwealth.
This section is effective Dec. 5, 2008, and shall apply to all transportation agencies.
Additional modifications to the PPTA guidelines will be made to support this amendment, along with other updates, in 2009 and will be posted for public comment prior to implementation.
