Abstract
This report presents information on financing mechanisms used by transportation agencies to capture a portion of the economic value created by public investment in transportation infrastructure to fund transportation improvements. The report provides an overview of ten types of “value capture” mechanisms and presents case examples of how transportation agencies have used these mechanisms to help fund specific highway projects. Information used in this study was acquired through a review of the literature and interviews with agency staff involved with implementing value capture mechanisms presented in the case examples.
