People say the same thing over and over: "But we need tolls, or ownership!" Untrue. The margin can accrue from moderate financing costs added by developer, efficiencies, front loading payments, and maintenance.

No ownership needed.
Setting aside the question of ownership, how is this new model going to result in infrastructure improvements without the spending of additional government funds?

If it isn't, how does it solve the problem that Republicans don't want to spend government money on these things because the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelsons of the world don't want them to?
