Investing in American Infrastructure: The Case for Private Capital
Steve Morriss, Susan Gray, Rick Snyder, Mike Sommers, John Tanyeri

Speakers from S&P Global, MetLife, and the American Investment Council highlighted that while risk transfer remains a core P3 principle, significant investment is hindered by fragmented management and voter resistance to tax increases. To overcome these barriers, the group recommended federal standardization of procurement documents, profit-sharing mechanisms to fund non-revenue assets, and simplified, menu-style public-private partnership models.

Brian Sullivan, Pierre Beaudoin, Phil Bredesen, Jack Hollis, Steve Morriss, Amy Purdy
Toyota is evolving from an automotive manufacturer into a comprehensive mobility company by leveraging partnerships with Paralympic athletes like Amy Purdy to develop assistive technologies that enhance independence for the elderly and disabled. Concurrently, urban planning experts highlight the critical role of mass transit and autonomous vehicles in overcoming infrastructure bottlenecks, noting that software upgrades and flexible route designs can significantly boost public transport efficiency in high-density areas. Together, these initiatives illustrate a broader industry shift toward inclusive, technology-driven solutions that address both individual mobility challenges and complex systemic urban transportation needs.
