A Partnership for Infrastructure Investment

Nearly everyone agrees that a well-maintained infrastructure system could put Americans back to work, spur our economy, enhance our global competitiveness, reduce congestion, improve safety, and show that America can still get big things done. But in an era of deficits and budget shortfalls, how are we supposed to pay for it?
One way is through more public-private partnerships (P3s). P3s can help get projects started and completed faster, easing the strain on state budgets and making room to use taxpayer money on projects that can’t attract private investment. There is as much as $250 billion of global private capital available for P3s, and we need to put that money to work.
