What's inside?
America’s decaying transportation infrastructure is holding back its economy, but solutions – both short- and long-term – exist.
Recommendation
The United States’ decaying transportation system suffers from political deadlocks, decreased investment, and inefficient local, state and federal funding. These impediments are blocking opportunities to create jobs and improve the US economy’s competitiveness. This accessible, detailed report from Roger C. Altman, Aaron Klein and Alan B. Krueger offers practical solutions to America’s transport issues. The authors know of what they speak, as they apply their combined years of distinguished government service to the problem. getAbstract recommends their work to anyone who travels America’s roads, bridges, ports, railways, subways and buses.
