Carlo A. Scissura, CEO and president of New York Building Congress

NEW YORK CITY—The American Society of Civil Engineers has rated the country’s infrastructure with a D+. The ASCE report which comes out every four years, in 2017 estimated $2 trillion more would be needed for critical infrastructure repairs by 2025.

Next week the New York Building Congress is meeting with political leaders in Washington, DC to advocate the following 10-point plan to fund and fix the nation’s infrastructure including the problems in the northeast corridor. It might not be easy for everyone to swallow as it involves new taxes. But the NYBC urges the measures below to develop and maintain roads, transit, bridges, tunnels, railways, airports, waterways and energy infrastructure.
