An innovative way of transportation financing is through value capture, which involves (partial) recovery of value gains associated with transportation improvement. In the recently passed transportation finance bill, the state legislature is launching a study to assess the feasibility of using value capture in Minnesota to supplement transportation funding. Following is a tentative outline of questions that I think should be addressed in this study:
- Measuring value gains of transportation
- Theoretical frameworks of value gains
- Empirical evidence about value gains
- Practical ways to measure value gains
- Strategies of value capture: rationales, applications, and issues
- Tax-based approaches: special assessment, split-rate property tax, or TIF
- Fee-based approaches: development impact fees or development exactions
- Market-based approaches: selling, leasing, or joint-developments
- Recommendations for Minnesota
- Criteria for evaluation
- Evaluating possible policy options
- Policy recommendations
