Executive Summary

This document is the second in a series of studies of the potential for public/private partnerships to stimulate the development and deployment of advanced transportation-related technologies. As in the first of these reports, Public/Private Partnerships: Implications for Innovation in Transportation (December 1998), four actual partnership examples are described and assessed in relation to important factors such as the motivations and agendas, resources, and legal and institutional frameworks of the participants. The four partnerships assessed in this document are:

1. Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN);
2. The Clean Cities Initiative;
3. Next-Generation High-Speed Rail Program (NGHSR); and
4. The Fraunhofer Society in America.

As with the first report, the purpose of these documents is to "support decision makers in the public, private, non-profit, and academic sectors as they examine and develop the potential for public/private partnership options in transportation, as well as in other related fields." ¹
