This paper summarizes the evidence on
the evolution of transport PPPs over the last 15 years or
so. In the process, it provides a primer on the associated
policy issues, including of the central role of project
finance in the implementation of PPP policies and the
debates on risk allocation in the design of PPPs. The paper
also offers a discussion of the increasingly well recognized
residual roles for the public sector in transport, with an
emphasis on the regulatory debates surrounding the adoption
of PPPs.
