Transportation

The nation's network of rails and highways is an essential and indispensable component of the U.S. economy.

In 2005, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) gave the nation's overall transportation network a grade of "D" and cited the need to invest $1.6 trillion in upgrades over the next 20 years.

The number of structurally deficient bridges nationwide is staggering.

In 2007, the Association of American Railroads (AAR) estimated that an investment of $148 billion is needed just to keep pace with economic growth and ensure that the freight railroads can carry the volume of freight forecast for 2035.

Quite clearly, billions of dollars - from both public and private sources - will be allocated in the coming years to maintain and upgrade existing rails and highways and for new construction.
