MAKING FREEWAY DOLLARS STRETCH : ARIZONA'S PUBLIC-PRIVATE MODEL

Arizona's population is expected to more than double in the next 40 years, so the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is teaming with other agencies and members of the private sector to identify routes for a $5 billion regional freeway system to be built over the next 20 years. But economic difficulties caused the project to stall and forced it to scale down. It replaced the earlier system of five management consultants with one general consultant to serve as an extension of ADOT to develop general plans that it can use to implement and complete on a compressed timetable. The general consultant develops 30% of all projects, saving money through standardizing goals and methods.
