CAPITAL BELTWAY HOT LANES
Early 90’s plans cost prohibitive, highly disruptive to community and environment
Private sector proposed HOT Lanes as alternative
Completed under Virginia’s PPP legislation
14 miles, two new HOT lanes in each direction
First time introduction of HOV and transit network to Beltway and Tysons Corner
Replacement of more than $260 million of aging infrastructure
New choice to pay a toll for faster, more reliable travel time
7
CAPITAL BELTWAY PPP AS AN EXAMPLE
Nearly $2 billion transportation improvement project
80-year partnership agreement – Operator led example
Approximately $1.5 billion in private equity and debt
Key risks transferred to private sector, away from taxpayers
State grant and use of innovative federal loan programs
Stringent Performance regime
Partnership agreement includes key provisions to protect public interest Revenue sharing No non-compete Transparency Performance requirements
8
PPPs - PART OF THE SOLUTION
Challenges require broad spectrum of tools and strategies
PPPs part of the solution – not the “silver bullet” Private partnerships can support governments in
advancing major transportation improvements Private capital Innovative financing Risk transfer Financial incentives to continually improve
efficiency, traveler experience and safety Meet transportation needs more quickly

PPPs UNDER SCRUTINY
Market failures have placed increased scrutiny on the PPP model in Australia
Focus on winning the project rather than delivering ‘transportation outcomes’
Media and PPP opponents have focused on recent high profile project failures
Successful projects, such as Westlink M7, have not received the same level of attention
Scrutiny has rightly been placed on traffic forecasting and financial engineering for failed projects
The effects of the Global Financial Crises has put pressure on the PPP model for the delivery of toll roads
PPP market in the US is maturing and will evolve
Operator led examples are a more positive approach
10
BENEFITS OF THE OPERATOR-LED MODEL
The Operator-led model has a number of advantages over traditional procurement :
Traditional Contractor Model Operator-Led Model
Efficient mechanism for “hard” asset delivery
Partnership approach for the term of the concession
Little focus on customer service provision
Concessionaire interests aligned with Government, community & customers
Focus on D&C and financing provision, not long term operation
Focus on service delivery over the life of the asset
Short-term view has seen bids won on unrealistic traffic forecasts
Less incentive to inflate traffic forecasts
Limited competitors increase bid pricing
Long term equity protected through robust project metrics
Lack of protection for long term equity holders

SUSTAINABILITY IN ACTION:CAPITAL BELTWAY HOT LANES
1313
CURRENT CONGESTION
The Beltway currently experiences 6 to 8 hours of congestion per day* The fifth worst congested region in the United States* Commuters lose an average of 69 hours a year sitting in traffic* Congestion costs the local economy nearly US$5.5 billion a year* Minimal to no ability to build out corridor due to physical constraints and social
impacts *Data from the Texas Transportation Institute

“While the HOT lanes project won’t single-handedly solve Northern Virginia’s traffic nightmare, it is a key piece in a complicated puzzle.”

SUSTAINABILITY:PROJECT SCOPE
Private proposal for HOT Lanes provided funding source, reduced impact from 350 homes and businesses to 8
Significant expansion of carpool and transit service
First-time bicycle and pedestrian access
Improved safety with bridge replacement
Enhanced evacuation and incident response
Dynamic pricing to manage traffic levels and reduce stop-and-go traffic, which can lead to reduced GHG emissions
“HOT Lanes can create financial incentives to make public transport and carpooling more attractive…”
- U.S. Dept. of Transportation

HOW HOT LANES WILL KEEP TRAFFIC MOVING
17
COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMERS AND COMMUNITY
Outreach surrounding construction
Community grant program
Signature partnership programs Bike-to-Work “Orange Cones. No Phones” Driver
Safety Campaign
Robust consumer research to inform operations planning
New approach to on-road information and customer management
18
CONCLUSIONS
PPP’s are part of the solution – not the answer to all delivery methods and they are not a means of delivering non feasible projects
Operator led model delivers the most benefits
Demonstrated sustainability benefits
HOT Lanes becoming important tool in addressing growing congestion crisis in U.S. urban areas
Pricing is effective in managing traffic levels and providing congestion-free pathway for buses, carpools and toll-payers
Technology can provide improved safety, driver information and travel experience
