Your State's Story

In order to undertake a PPP, a transportation agency must have the authority to do so, granted in statewide enabling legislation. The U.S. Department of Transportation has prepared model PPP legislation. The purpose of this model PPP legislation is to provide States with an example of what basic elements to consider and address in PPP authorizing legislation.

Currently, less than half of US states authorize the use of PPPs in highway projects. Some states only allow pilot projects or demonstration projects, while other states only allow projects for certain types of infrastructure (such as bridges or tunnels).

In the map below, the shaded states are those with some enabling legislation in place.

For those states that have yet to enact enabling legislation, we have provided links to one or more contacts with your Department of Transportation.
