Abstract

In recent years, Brazil has passed through a process of transference of public services. Due to limited resources to maintain the level of services, government has been transferring them to private companies. Specifically in transports, the road concession program has been criticized in many aspects. In order to understand crucial issues and evaluate new perspectives for the program, this paper performs a historical and critical analysis. We identified possible reasons for current situation that are mainly related to a restricted planning strategy. Based on this backdrop, two future perspectives for the Brazilian road concession program were developed.
