Will existing roads be tolled?
Legislation requires that any P3 agreement must be used for a “new, upgraded or enhanced facility.” Therefore, P3s can be used for new facilities or for expansions to existing facilities. Existing lanes cannot be tolled under current law.
Will private partners try to increase their profit at citizens’ expense by raising tolls and reducing service?
No. A toll facility is a business venture for a private partner. If tolls are too high, fewer people will travel on the facility, which will result in lower profits for the private entity.
Similarly, reducing service will also drive customers away, which is the last thing that a business wants to do.
Additionally, provisions regulating toll rate increases and performance standards are included in the P3 agreement, and the private partner is legally required to adhere to these provisions.
How long will a P3 agreement last?
In Arizona, the term of a P3 agreement can extend up to 50 years. However, ADOT may extend a P3 for additional terms.
