Updated Infrastructure Report Card Tablet App Offers New State Information

American Society of Civil Engineers

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has released an update to its 2013 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure Android/iOS app for tablets and website featuring new state data and graphics. The update is available for free download in the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and at www.infrastructurereportcard.org, and includes new video content, graphs, chart, and 20 new case studies or “success stories” that underscore the benefits of investing in infrastructure.

The Report Card originally released in March 2013 graded the nation’s infrastructure at a D+, highlighting the need for further investment in the 16 categories documented in the report, including roads, dams, and drinking water. This app update does not change the grades or evaluation from the 2013 report, but does update the state-level data to provide the most current information of each state’s infrastructure.

The new success stories highlight projects across the country:

  • Small Community Airport Access Program (Virginia)
  • Interstate 95 Pawtucket River Bridge Replacement (Rhode Island)
  • Ohio Targets Dam Safety Improvements
  • Wichita Falls Turns Wastewater into Drinking Water (Texas)
