A modern transportation system is essential to Nevada’s ability to attract visitors, move people and goods, improve quality of life for its residents, and provide beneficial family-wage jobs. In these uncertain economic times, Nevada is left to search for innovative delivery and funding strategies to keep up with the transportation needs of our state’s expanded population.
One way to achieve this: public-private partnerships which allow the state to leverage limited public funds and utilize private capital to finance, design, build, operate, and/or maintain needed transportation improvements that could not otherwise be funded. NDOT’s Pioneer Program was created to assess and implement these public-private partnerships designed to ensure prompt delivery of needed projects, provide a more efficient transportation system, and contribute to an improved lifestyle and economy for Nevada.
