| 摘要： | The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) revealed its 2021 Report Card for America's Infrastructure on March 3, which evaluated 17 categories across the nation and is released every four years. Transit's score remained unchanged from the last report card released in 2017, coming in at a D minus-the lowest score out of the categories. Rail's score (includes passenger and freight rail) also remained unchanged, coming in at a B. In addition to the scores, the report noted that 45 percent of Americans don't have access to public transit. Simultaneously, many transit systems are aging and lack the funds to keep up to date on the State of Good Repair, which ASCE says is being exasperated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In total, 36 percent of the transit maintenance and storage facilities across the U.S. are in poor condition and over a 10-year period, 19 percent of vehicles and six percent of fixed guideway elements such as tracks and tunnels were rated in poor condition. There is also a $176-billion State of Good Repair backlog, a deficit that is expected to grow to more than $270 billion through 2029, the report states. |
