ASCE Report
Every four years, the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) report card depicts the condition and performance of America’s infrastructure. Like a school report card, it assigns grades based on the physical condition and needed investments for improvement.

$3,300 a year,
which is equivalent to
a $4.358 billion cost
to our economy.
