... However, as discussed in the following, it is rare that financing is secured solely by value capture revenues. It is typical for a major transit project to include all three funding sources.

... Credit rating agencies feel more comfortable assigning investment-grade ratings to projects that are supported by existing revenue, such as the financing associated with the Dulles Metrorail special assessment district in the Washington, D.C., area (see Appendix G)

... While value capture financing can take advantage of features within TIFIA to accommodate uncertain cash flow resulting from the vagaries of real estate markets, its utility is limited by requirements that such cash flows be highly reliable or subject to a backstop. Where financing is dependent on TIF, joint development, or impact fee revenues related to new development, a backstop or other mitigation of real estate market risk may be required.

Availability payment–based P3 structures are typically used for transit projects due to the fact that typical revenue streams associated with transit projects, such as fare-box, advertising, and station concessions, are not attractive enough to offset the high capital costs associated with designing, building, financing, operating, and maintaining transit facilities.5 Formal P3 structures have not typically been employed for the real estate development portion of value capture projects. In the case of Denver Union Station, a developer served as the master developer but was not the entity responsible for station and infrastructure construction loans.
