Goldman Sachs making pitch for Atlanta toll truckway on I-285 belt

Goldman Sachs (GS) has a proposal for financing truck-only toll lanes (TOTLs) on the western portion of the I-285 beltway around Atlanta GA, the Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting. They say the New York based financial group - which has formed a fund for tollroad investments and is pitching concessions all over the country - will make a presentation to the state's policymaking transportation board at their monthly meeting next week. They are expected to follow up with a formal proposal under the state's public-private initiative (PPI) law.
