The 2021 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure reveals we’ve made some incremental progress toward restoring our nation’s infrastructure. For the first time in 20 years, our infrastructure is out of the D range. Below we take a look at the US infrastructure grade for the sector categories we analyzed.
For transit, The infrastructure grades range from a B in rail to a D-. Five category grades — aviation, drinking water, energy, inland waterways, and ports — went up, while just one category — bridges — went down. In 2021, stormwater infrastructure received its first grade: a disappointing D. Overall, 11 category grades were stuck in the D range, a clear signal that our overdue infrastructure bill is a long way from being paid off.
The San Bernardino-Riverside Branch has a Report Card Committee diligently working on the ASCE Report Card update for the area. The goal is to release the updated report card in Spring. If you’d like to learn more about it please contact us.
