 most "potential" for public revenue generation will also be the most attractive and have the greatest potential for private financing of transport infrastructure. The greatest opportunity for private financing of "greenfield" projects will be in China and other Big 5 and developing countries, while there is considerable scope for growth in the market for concessions and other "brownfield" packaging of existing (with some possible new) infrastructure in industrialised countries. There are no easy solutions to transport infrastructure funding here. The challenge of that funding (and governance) involves a complex mix of public finance, political, economic, environment, and land-use issues - with overlapping time frames, decision cycles and deadlines. Clearly therefore, there is a need to marry public and private sources of funding - to enhance both, and to seek an appropriate role and balance between the two. The ability to balance stakeholder and political accountabilities makes the governance of land transport infrastructure systems (and their funding) difficult - requiring sustained political commitment over a considerable period. There are real dangers in over-investment in road transport infrastructure, in poor land-use policies, in low-density urban sprawl, etc. It is difficult to manage these effectively except at the relatively local level - but with policy guidance, planning and co-ordination involving senior levels of government. While it is tempting to focus on the absolute US dollar volume of land transportation infrastructure requirements to 2030, it is equally (if not more) important to assess the entire governance and accountability regime of land transportation infrastructure funding - and in particular, issues of funding stability, "user-pay", political and government oversight, transparency of reporting/evaluation, and accountability for performance.
