The proposed budget would slash transportation spending by 13% in fiscal 2017, including a $95 billion cut to the Highway Trust Fund through 2027 - the source of about 25% of public highway and mass transit spending nationwide.
America's roads received a D grade in this year's Infrastructure Report Card from the American Society of Civil Engineers. Overall, US infrastructure scored a D+, and the ASCE estimates the country needs to spend $4.5 trillion by 2025 to improve its roads, bridges, dams, airports, schools, and more. Highway investment needs have a $836 billion backlog.
The ASCE also looked at the road conditions in every state plus Washington, DC. The states below have the highest percentage of roads in poor condition.
