ASCE Updates Infrastructure Report Card Apps
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 infrastructurereportcard.org, and includes new video content, graphs, charts, 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 Report Card also includes the latest infrastructure statistics for all 50 states and Washington, D.C. With this update, each state’s page now includes the most recent data released on bridges, dams, drinking water, ports, roads, and transit.
Here’s a link to the online version of the ASCE 2013 Infrastructure Report Card for perusal. You can also find links to both the Android and Apple apps.
