2013 ASCE Report Card Links Underinvestment to Deteriorating Infrastructure

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), commends the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) for its comprehensive assessment of the nation’s current infrastructure conditions and needs. The 2013 Report Card finds that inadequate investment has resulted in deteriorating U.S. infrastructure.

“This Report Card accentuates the need for a long-term, sustainable funding source for surface transportation, moving forward,” said AASHTO Executive Director Bud Wright. “By connecting greater investment in transportation projects to measurable improvements in efficiency and connectivity, the report demonstrates why adequate infrastructure investment is key to our future economic prosperity.”
