Should your airport consider public-private partnerships (P3s)? TRB hosted a webinar on Wednesday, September 29, 2021 from 2:00 to 3:30 PM Eastern that presented a guidebook designed to help airport owners evaluate if P3s are right for them. Presenters identified lessons learned and discussed what factors are necessary for a successful P3 project in the aviation context. They also provided an overview of the Airport P3 Readiness Assessment tool that airport owners can use to determine how P3s may work for their organizations.

The webinar features research from ACRP Research Report 227: Evaluating and Implementing Airport Privatization and Public-Private Partnerships. See more TRB resources on P3s from our blog.
