AB The construction of road infrastructure is often a difficult issue for many countries. While manydeveloping countries do not have public funds available, other developed countries experience publicbudget restrictions that limit the country's infrastructure development. Public Private Partnership(PPP) appears to be an adequate mechanism for empowering those countries, both developing anddeveloped, to bring together the public and the private sector and to find efficient ways for publicfunding and public services provisionPublic Private Partnership is not however a panacea, instead mean a limited approach that is valid forfeasible projects, and given the current economic context it may be the only solution for road provisionin some cases. Moreover, affordability limitations and viability conditions become key factors to makeprojects financially sustainable.From a case study analysis carried out on many projects in Europe, COST Action TU1001, PublicPrivate Partnerships in Transport: Trends & Theory P3T3 , it may show evidence of key factors (or keyperformance indicators) that might drive to success or failure. The idea of this paper, therefore, is toidentify the elements for assessing sustainability in transport projects against these KPIs. Acomparative analysis using 04 case studies (road projects) from Greece, Portugal, Spain and UK werechosen to achieve the main purpose of the paper.The findings and implications may be of interest at the time of implementing and designing asustainable and efficient policy for road infrastructure. These results may be considered in manycountries which are preparing a master program of national roads.
