PUBLIC/PRIVATE SECTOR FINANCING TECHNIQUES FOR URBAN TRANSIT IN CANADA

The intent of this paper is to assess the transferability of the U.S. experience with cost sharing and benefit-sharing transit financing strategies to the Canadian context. Attention is directed specifically to public-private sector financing schemes, thereby excluding many other types of what has been termed "innovative financing" methods. The specific objectives of the paper are as follows: (1) to review the U.S. experience with cost-sharing and benefit-sharing urban transit financing strategies; (2) to test the relationship between travel demand and benefitting land uses, using the Montreal Urban Community as a case study; and (3) to assess the appropriateness of cost-sharing and benefit-sharing arrangements for the Canadian urban transit context, with particular reference to the Montreal region.
