Concessions and PPPs in Collective Public Passenger Transport: Some Reflections
At the state level, specific programs or projects are frequently announced under the partnership model, whether concession or PPP. The same occurs at the municipal level, though to a lesser degree. Federal Concessions Law 8,987 dates from 1995, while its close cousin establishing Public-Private Partnerships is from the end of 2004, under No. 11,079, which renames the concession under Law 8,987/95 as a “Common” Concession, in order to differentiate it from the newly established PPPs, which are also Concessions, but only under the so-called “Sponsored” and “Administrative” modalities.
Where Is Mobility Heading?
Digitalization in favor of transport services, electrification, autonomous vehicles, promotion of non-motorized forms of mobility, on-demand transport and apps, passenger information and communication, and more modern financing models are some of the global urban mobility trends discussed at a seminar held last Tuesday, June 12, 2017, by UITP – International Association of Public Transport for Latin America, at the Sindicato dos Engenheiros do Estado de São Paulo, in the central region of the São Paulo capital.
