The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) recently released their 2017 Infrastructure Report Card. Every four years, the ASCE grades the nation’s infrastructure within sixteen major categories on an A - F scale. Many factors determine the grade a particular category of infrastructure receives, including Capacity, Condition, Funding, Future Need, Operation and Maintenance, Public Safety, Resilience, and Innovation.
Overall, America’s cumulative infrastructure grade in 2017 was D+. Low-scoring areas include Aviation (D), Roads (D), and Public Transit (D-), among many others. Explore other categories.
At the local level, one such smaller-scale project is the bus rapid transit project between Downtown and Oakland to streamline travel between these two neighborhoods. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported in February that while it is not certain that federal funding will be secured, “it is a high priority project and it will proceed.” If funding can be secured for such projects, it will present opportunities to local construction firms specializing in a range of industries, and improving our nation’s infrastructure grades certainly is a long road ahead.
