Privatization takes its toll

Article Abstract:

California Department of Transportation (Caltran)'s privatization of toll projects has sparked debates regarding the move's practicability. Proponents state that the private sector can augment project financing and the move conformed to legislation encouragingpublic/private partnerships. Moreover, state and federal environmental laws anddesign and construction oversight will govern the projects. Opponents aver thatthe projects will only enrich its investors and pose environmental hazards. They also accuse Caltrans of illegal contracting, avoiding its responsibilitiesand misrepresenting funding issues.
