24 FROM IDEA TO IMPLEMENTATION SWARCO ASSISTS YOU IN SOLVING YOUR TRAFFIC (MANAGEMENT) PROBLEMS
25 Constantly growing traffic volumes, congested roads, and emissions are a challenge for traffic infrastructure operators. Very often good ideas are not implemented due to the lack of financial resources in the public budgets. SWARCO is convinced that added values beyond quality products and solutions must be offered. These include alternative financing concepts and public-private partnerships in order to get road infrastructure projects going. SWARCO can give you advice in these matters. Design Build Finance Operate (DBFO) is one model how the idea of an infrastructure project can become reality within a private-public partnership approach.
