The Real Cost of Doing Nothing!

Deteriorating Transportation Infrastructure Could Cost America $3.1 Trillion

"engineers... the cost of failing to invest more in the nation's roads and bridges would total $3.1 trillion in lost GDP growth by 2020. For workers, the toll of investing only at current levels would be equally daunting: 877,000 jobs would also be lost. Already, the report found, deficient and deteriorating surface transportation cost us $130 billion in 2010."
