Strukton advocates public-private partnership (PPP) in light rail as a means to improve public transport. By combining their expertise, Strukton Integrale Projecten and Strukton Railinfra offer integrated solutions for urban transport issues.

Together with NedRailways, both Strukton operating companies cooperated in a consortium under the name of TramTeam in order to be able to offer a suitable solution for the Djurgårdslinen plan in Stockholm. TramTeam's proposal covered everything: design, construction and maintenance of tracks and overhead wires, the delivery of 12 light rail trains, constructing a maintenance depot and operating the system.

Light rail is increasingly regarded as the answer to urban transport issues. Projects in the area of local public transport are usually complex, both with regard to technology as to organisation. because of fragmentation, risks and the required it cab take quite some time to get a project up and running.

In a public-private partnership the authority and market party each bear their own responsibilities, while doing what they are good at. One implements policy and monitors quality, while the other designs, builds, maintains, finances and operates. The risks are shared evenly between the partners, while they share an ambition as well: to resolve an urgent traffic problem as quickly as possible by means of sustainable solutions. 

While public-private partnerships in the light rail sector are still very much a novelty in the Netherlands, other European countries have long proven the advantages of PPP. Over 40 PPP concessions in various stages of development were registered throughout Europe in 2008. The UK, Germany, Portugal and recently Belgium, too, have seen a sharp increase in the numbers of PPP projects.
