BUSINESS PLANNING FOR STATE INFRASTRUCTURE BANKS--DISCUSSION

This is a panel discussion on State Infrastructure Banks (SIBs). The first panelist reviews some issues that SIBs raise from a project and planning perspective. The second panelist, on behalf of the Surface Transportation Policy Project, focuses on the concern that innovative financing techniques and SIBs ought to contribute to the broader goals of the transportation system and to the broader public interest. The third panelist discusses the demand for projects funded by the Ohio SIB and how the SIB fit into the needs of the state, reviews the process of effectively establishing and administering the Ohio SIB program, and comments on what future legislation at the federal level is needed for Ohio's SIB program. The fourth panelist points out that not every state should have a SIB (a SIB does not work everywhere), and expresses concern at attempts to change the SIB requirements.
