摘要：	This project has developed a decision framework to help transportation agencies identify the preferred method of delivering highway winter maintenance and operations (M&O). Delivering winter services is often cast as a choice between using agency employees or outsourcing (i.e., contracting with the public or private sectors, or employing other devices such as intergovernmental agreements). However, the choices among contracting vehicles are many, extending from simple, short-term agreements for renting equipment with a driver, to large, complex, long-term public-private partnerships (PPPs or P3s). In PPPs, a private entity may assume broad responsibilities for designing, building, operating, maintaining, financing, and managing highway facilities, including winter services. While the decision framework resulting from this project focuses on winter services specifically, it recognizes that winter M&O are but one part of an agencys overall approach to delivering a comprehensive highway Maintenance and Operations program to the public.
