Though modest progress has been made since 2017, American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) still graded 11 categories of the nation s infrastructure in the D range in the 2021 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure on Tuesday.
The study, initiated every four years, evaluated 17 categories of infrastructure, with this year s grades ranging from a B for Rail to a D- for Transit. For the first time in 20 years, the country’s infrastructure as a whole received a grade in the C range, meaning on average, the nation’s infrastructure is in mediocre condition, has deficiencies and needs attention, according to a press release.
