FHWA P3 Toolkit

Publications

A wide range of primers, guides, discussion papers, and informational reports designed to help practitioners understand and navigate the different aspects of implementing P3 projects

Analytical Tools

The P3-VALUE 2.2 spreadsheet-based calculation tool enables practitioners to conduct risk evaluation, financial feasibility assessment, benefit-cost analysis and value for money analysis for candidate P3 projects. Users enter inputs and key assumptions and are able to see how these affect the model output. While this P3 Toolkit analytical tool is intended to educate users in the analysis and screening of candidate P3 projects, it is not suitable for detailed project evaluation. Detailed analysis should be completed by experts using more sophisticated models. P3-VALUE 2.2 updates P3-VALUE 2.1 with an enhanced escalation option for the O&M component of availability payments; updates to a limited number of formulas and labels; and a listing of all functions used in the model in the "Key" sheet.

Webinars

Materials and recordings of the various webinars FHWA has held to support the P3 Toolkit materials.

Programs, Institutions and Financial Instruments

U.S. DOT offers financing and administrative programs to assist a public agency or its private partner in delivering a project via the P3 method. These program tools are often combined when structuring a P3 financial transaction.
