The Bureau serves as the single point of contact and coordination for states, municipalities, and other project sponsors seeking federal transportation expertise. Our team works with you to leverage available DOT credit and funding programs, explore innovative project delivery approaches like public-private partnerships (P3s), and navigate project development processes like permitting.
We offer project-specific guidance to get your project off the drawing board and into action.
Our financing products can reduce project costs, increase flexibility, and deliver the transportation infrastructure you need faster. Eligible project borrowers include state and local governments, transit agencies, railroad companies, special authorities, special districts, joint ventures, public-private partnerships, and private entities.
If you have a project --or even the idea of a project-- reach out to us today. There's nothing to lose, and we might just build something great together.
The Build America Bureau (Bureau) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published guidance in the Federal Register to help the public understand statutory requirements to evaluate the appropriateness of using alternative approaches to deliver infrastructure projects. The guidance collates the requirements cited in four laws, does not contain any new criteria, does not impose any new legal requirements, and has no legal effect.
The Bureau and FHWA are seeking comments through the Federal Register from the public before finalizing the Value for Money (VfM) guidance document. The Bureau and FHWA can support public entities interested in evaluating alternative approaches for delivering transportation infrastructure through direct technical assistance.
