P3S: STORMWATER INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY90-95% of suburban and urban lands are privately owned across the United States. Public-Private-Partnerships (P3s) are essential to achieving environmental goals and building climate resilience. The growth of P3s in stormwater is promoting new market mechanisms offering credits to incentivize private investment. Opti has built the broadest set of solutions for partners in emerging stormwater credit markets. At Opti, we collaborate with our partners to strengthen continuous innovation and produce greater outcomes. To learn more about Opti partnerships see the case study below. Opti, TNC & MDOT: A Model for P3s
Opti and TNC's partnership with MDOT and Walmart is the first of its kind where a state agency purchased water quality credits at 80% savings compared to traditional solutions. The partnership model creates an alliance between the public and private sector through market-based economic incentives.
Lack of data standards, conflicting business models, and difficult procurement processes are common challenges that have historically plagued P3s. That hasn't stopped the "Next Generation of Surface Water P3s" panel members from spearheading successful public-private alliances in stormwater.

Partnering With Yuya
I'm often asked, "How does Opti work with engineering consulting firms?" Opti is a product company providing our engineering partners with the technology to deliver successful solutions. We believe that when a partner's expertise and customer relations are paired with Opti technology, better outcomes are inevitable. Storm Andres was the earliest Pacific storm to develop on record. Accelerating climate change threatens communities with intensifying storms. The threat is clear as the 2021 hurricane season starts early and is predicted to be the "6th consecutive above-average hurricane season". Increasingly powerful hurricane seasons require greater resilience and robust stormwater systems to mitigate the flooding and overflow events that follow. As the originators of CMAC technology with more than 27,000 storms under its belt, Opti is the trusted stormwater solution for all communities.
