The 2001 Report Card for America's Infrastructure seeks to inform the public and policy makers about the condition of the nation's infrastructure and how best to improve it. This progress report examines the current trends for addressing the nation's deteriorating infrastructure and discusses actions the federal government should take to bring conditions up to acceptable levels. The 2001 report card evaluates 12 categories of infrastructure by assigning letter grades that are based on physical condition and needed fiscal investments for improvement.

Topics include: aviation, bridges, dams, drinking water, energy, hazardous waste, navigable waterways, roads, schools, solid waste, transit, and wastewater.
