摘要：	Increasing congestion, declining mobility, and deteriorating infrastructure are affecting the performance of surface transportation systems in many of the nation's urban areas. Confronted with these problems, many federal, state, and local agencies are improving and upgrading their highways and mass transit systems and are assisting the private sector in improving transportation facilities. In fiscal year 1998, the federal government will distribute nearly $26 billion to states and localities for the construction and repair of the nation's surface transportation systems. To meet the nation's transportation needs, states and localities are planning or building several large-dollar projects to replace aging infrastructure or build new capacity. These large-dollar projects represent a substantial investment of federal, state, and local transportation funds. In addition, the private sector has begun to participate in the funding of important transportation projects. Large-dollar infrastructure projects present several major challenges to federal, state, and local transportation officials. First, they are very costly and require large commitments of public resources that may take several years to garner from federal, state, and local sources. Because of the high costs of these projects, their financial packages are complex and may include debt financing to cover construction costs. Second, the projects can be technically challenging to construct and require their sponsors to resolve a wide range of social, environmental, land-use, and economic challenges before and during construction.
