Prepared by the 2009 Report Card for America's Infrastructure Advisory Council of ASCE
The 2009 Report Card for America's Infrastructure seeks to inform the public and policy makers about the condition of the nation's infrastructure and how best to improve it. The report card evaluates 15 categories of infrastructure—in energy, public facilities, transportation, and water and the environment—by assigning letter grades that are based on physical condition and needed fiscal investments for improvement. With a cumulative grade of D, the 2009 Report Card finds that not much has changed since the previous report card of four years ago. Each category is presented by a snapshot of current conditions, recommended solutions, and instructive case studies.
Topics include: dams, drinking water, hazardous waste, levees, solid waste, wastewater, aviation, bridges, inland waterways, ports, rail, roads, transit, public parks and recreation, schools, and energy.
