In 2008 and 2009, FTA and the National Council of Public-Private Partnerships (NCPPP) held eight workshops across the country to introduce, educate, and provide information on public-private partnerships (PPPs) to public and private sector actors. The workshops also provided a common place to bring together interested parties, identify barriers to PPPs, present case studies of PPP projects, and share best practices in the industry. Below are the presentations from the workshops.
