ASCE estimated it would cost $5.9 trillion over the next decade to fix all the deteriorated roads, bridges and airports.
In response to the infrastructure plan, Jim Tymon, ASCE’s executive director, called it a “first step in a conversation about a generational investment in transportation infrastructure addressing climate change, resiliency, and equity that will support improved quality of life through innovative, safer and cleaner mobility options.”
STUDENT TRAFFIC SAFETY CHALLENGE
Two traffic safety groups are looking for fresh ideas from the younger generation.
Stafford County-based American Traffic Safety Services Association and the Transportation Research Board recently announced the TCD Student Challenge, which calls for an individual or a team of students to submit solutions for this year’s topic.
The topic this year focuses on innovative traffic control device strategies for “speed management on limited access freeways,” according to a news release.
The challenge is open to students in high school, junior college or college.
“Students use their creativity to come up with innovative solutions for current roadway safety challenges that practitioners are currently trying to address to save lives,” ATSSA Director of Innovation and Technical Services Eric Perry said in the release. “This year’s challenge focuses on speed management because more than one-fourth of all traffic fatalities involve at least one speeding driver.”
