Infrastructure Overhaul ASCE and Army Corps reports underscore need for alternative financing

摘要

In its 2013 Report Card for America's Infrastructure, released on March 19, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) gave a grade of "D-" to the nation's inland waterways and a "C" to the condition of the nation's ports. Overall, the nation's "cumulative GPA," or grade point average, for infrastructure received a "D+," a slight improvement from the "D" it earned in the 2009 report.
