It analyzed the projects based on 6 proposed success factors and 3 measures of success. The most important conclusion is that many elements need to be right for a project to be successful, and effective procurement and financing appeared to be the most critical of the 6 success factors studied. The document provides lessons learned for delivering successful transport projects, including having an effective procurement and financing strategy, long-term public planning, rigorous project planning, clear political authority and support, and a focus on achieving successful operations.
