AB  - In order to reduce traffic congestion that adversely affects the quality of life, Rhode
Island is exploring and implementing creative financing partnerships to build new
intermodal train stations, where train tracks already exist. One of the greatest
challenges in conceptualizing intermodal train stations is the financing aspect of these
projects. The primary objective of this paper is to identify creative financing strategies
and tools for the proposed train stations in Rhode Island. The focus is on public-private
partnerships that would be appropriate for financing train station infrastructure and the
economic development of its surrounding area.
