Book Synopsis Going Private by : Jose Gomez-Ibanez
Download or read book Going Private written by Jose Gomez-Ibanez and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decade many countries turned to private sources to provide services formerly offered by public agencies. Europeans, particularly the British and the French, were leaders in this movement. Developing countries also experimented extensively with privatization in the 1980s, with varying degrees of success. Because governments around the world are heavily involved in transportation, it is a natural focus of privatization experiments and in many ways has been at the cutting edge. Going Private examines the diverse privatization experiences of transportation services and facilities. Cases are drawn from the United States, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Since almost every country has experimented to some degree with highway and bus privatization, the authors focus particularly on these services, although they also discuss urban rail transit and airports. Highways and buses, they explain, encompass all three of the most common and basic forms of privatization: the sale of an existing state-owned enterprise; use of private, rather than public, financing and management for new infrastructure development; and contracting out to private vendors public services previously provided by government employees. After thoroughly examining these services and discussing the motives for, and objections to, privatization, the authors look at the prospects for privatization in other sectors and industries. They assess those circumstances in which privatization is most likely to succeed and those in which it is most likely to fail, for political as well as economic reasons. The authors conclude that privatization involves many political and social as well as economic dimensions. Privatization is usually not simply a matter of efficiency improvements or capital augmentation but also involves such deeply imbedded societal concerns as equity, income transfers, environmental problems, and attitudes toward taxation and the role of government.
Book Synopsis Privatization and State Transportation Services by : Marie Nopper

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major purpose of this paper was to interview and report the attitudes of individuals who are currently involved with highway transportation in the State of Montana regarding privatization of certain Montana Department of Transportation duties or services. The in-depth interviews explored the topic of privatization and individual opinions on the reliance on private enterprise, market forces and competition for providing public services. Personal interviews were conducted with thirteen carefully selected individuals. At the time of the interviews, each individual was involved in one of four areas of highway transportation; one, private sector engineering or consultant design, including consulting, road design, bridge design or traffic design. Two, current or past employees of the Montana Department of Transportation in the areas administration, maintenance or engineering. Three, general contractor representation; and four, relevant transportation experience through a higher education institute. Preparation for the interviews was based upon a substantial review of literature, including privatization plans from the Commonwealth's of Virginia and Massachusetts, as well as the states of Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Iowa. Privatization plans written by the Montana Contractors' Association, the Providence of Alberta, Canada, the City of Great Falls, Montana, and private organizations such as the Reason Foundation were also reviewed. In addition, related materials from the Providence of British Columbia, Canada, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Department of Labor, the State of Kansas and numerous reports from private consulting firms were reviewed. The main conclusions of these interviews are: (I) There is no one specific definition of the term privatization. (2) There is no clear indication financial savings would occur if the overall mix changed. (3) There would be no savings from any change in the public and private sector mix with regard to buildings, equipment or land. Moving personnel or labor more toward private sector may be a short-term cost saving, but long-term savings are unclear. (4) MDT should be responsible for determining the increase, decrease or maintaining the level of privatization. (5) There is significant room for improvement in oversight of some of the privatization areas. (6) There is a great deal of confusion over how MDT evaluates the success or failure of privatization or private sector performed services or projects. (7) There is a high level of satisfaction with the current mix of private and public sector work with regard to privatization. The recommendations based upon this study are: (1) Maintain the current mix of contracting out or outsourcing for the areas of construction and maintenance. MDT should investigate increasing the amount of outsourcing and re-direct MDT design as project review and oversight for possible improved performance in the area of consultant design. (2) Additional educational and training opportunities should be investigated. (3) MDT should determine levels of privatization without being encumbered by political forces, either internal or external. (4) MDT needs clearer and more communication, both internally and externally, describing the processes of oversight of projects.

Book Synopsis Privatizing Transportation Systems by : Bloomsbury Publishing
Download or read book Privatizing Transportation Systems written by Bloomsbury Publishing and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1996-11-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Privatization began in the 1970s with Carter's deregulation of some business, and increased with the Thatcher administration in the United Kingdom, the Reagan administration in the United States, and many communist and socialist countries. One area of concern in privatization is transportation—airports, water ports, roads, and mass transit. Privatization can be implemented in financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of the transportation system, the main motives being the belief that the private sector can be more efficient than the public sector, and because public funds are becoming less plentiful for a variety of reasons. The focus is on ideas and innovations for expanding the private role in transportation. Specifically covered are ideas and innovations for expanding the role of private sector in U.S. transportation projects, private financing of urban transportation, airport privatization, water port improvement, toll roads, and competitive contracting for transit services. The distinguished list of contributors includes the co-recipient of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Economics, William Vickrey. The audience for the work are scholars dealing with the discussions concerning the economics and politics of privatization, business people who are likely to be interested in potential opportunities, governmental regulators and staff, and policy makers.
Book Synopsis Privatization and Regulation of Transport Infrastructure by : Antonio Estache
Download or read book Privatization and Regulation of Transport Infrastructure written by Antonio Estache and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1990s saw an increase in the liberalisation of transport policies and a strengthening of the role of private operators and investors in transport infrastructure worldwide. The search for sustained improvement in efficiency is probably secondary to the need to find additional financing, but it is improvement in services that is at the core of the new role of the government in transport. Governments must now become fair economic regulators of many of the privately operated transport services and infrastructures. This book examines the major challenges that governments are likely to face in taking on their new role in transport.

Download or read book Handbook on Public Private Partnerships in Transportation, Vol I written by Simon Hakim and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in global transportation infrastructure. Seen as a way to provide vital services in an era of shrinking government budgets, public-private partnerships have become an increasingly important part of travel infrastructure worldwide. This book describes and analyzes the structure of various models of PPPs in various countries, evaluating their effectiveness, and drawing policy implications for future use. Written by leading international researchers and practitioners in the transportation field, each chapter is a case study on the adoption, implementation, and outcome of transportation services in different municipalities. Taken together, these diverse case studies provide an integrated framework for evaluating and using PPPs. Providing rigorous empirical analysis of PPPs in transportation, this volume will be of interest to researchers in public administration, political science, and economics as well as practitioners and policymakers involved in establishing and monitoring PPPs in transportation.

Book excerpt: In Last Exit Clifford Winston reminds us that transportation services and infrastructure in the United States were originally introduced by private firms. The case for subsequent public ownership and management of the system was weak, in his view, and here he assesses the case for privatization and deregulation to greatly improve Americans' satisfaction with their transportation systems.

Book Synopsis Privatization of Public Services by : Christoph Hermann
Download or read book Privatization of Public Services written by Christoph Hermann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public services throughout Europe have undergone dramatic restructuring processes in recent years in connection with liberalization and privatization. While evaluations of the successes of public services have focused on prices and efficiency, much less attention has been paid to the impacts of liberalization and privatization on employment, labor relations, and working conditions. This book addresses this gap by illustrating the ways in which liberalization has contributed to increasing private and foreign ownership of public services, the decentralization of labor relations has amplified pressure on wages, and decreasing employment numbers and increasing workloads have improved productivity partly at the cost of service quality. Examining diverse public-service sectors including network industries, public transportation, and hospitals, and using international case studies, Privatization of Public Services covers a wide range of aspects of service provision, with particular emphasis on companies and workers. The result is a unique picture of the changes created by the liberalization processes in Europe.
