Bob Poole, the Director of Transportation Studies at the Reason Foundation and a regular speaker at our conferences, is a brilliant man, as regular readers of Reason’s Surface Transportation Newsletter know.
In the most recent edition of the Surface Transportation Newsletter, Poole examines:
What reauthorization means for tolling and PPP’s – “The rather status-quo oriented MAP-21 reauthorization bill that was signed by the President offers a few positive developments for tolling and PPPs, but fails to address the continued erosion of the users-pay/users-benefit nature of the Highway Trust Fund.”
The growing number of PPP bridges and tunnels – “From large to small, new or replacement toll bridge and tunnel projects are proliferating around the country, as state DOTs and city governments cope with diminished fuel-tax revenue.”
Whether Managed Lanes are self-supporting – In this piece, Bob does a masterful bit of sleuthing to determine that the Manage Lane project on I-95 in Miami “would be in the black in every one of the 10 years, based on the criteria used by other state DOTs,” and NOT unable to cover its costs, as the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.
Bob is just one of the many talented contributors to the Surface Transportation Newsletter, which is a must-read for all of us in the industry. To read the latest edition or to subscribe (it’s free!) click here.
