Abstract: These four presentations on innovative transportation finance discuss emerging financial innovations. The first addresses the funding of airport projects, such as the extension of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system to the airport. The second discusses lease/leaseback transactions, with a walk through of a generic $100 million transaction. The third describes the Federal Highway Administration's findings from workshops conducted on innovative financing among the states. The fourth discusses federal assistance through bond reimbursement, grant anticipation revenue vehicles (GARVEEs), and three new programs in the National Economic Crossroads Transportation Efficiency Act (NEXTEA): a border gateway pilot program, the credit enhancement program, and a deployment incentive program to implement innovative technologies.
