New state data revealed on infrastructure report card latest tablet app update

BLOG_App update to America's infrastructure report card-ASCE logoWe already know that our nation’s infrastructure isn’t scoring top marks on its report card. They’re the kind of grades that would have put me in trouble with my folks and certainly wouldn’t have bene marks I could have used for my undergrad or grad school applications.

But just in case you want to see these marks, you are now able to do it more easily on the go with news state data and graphics on your Android or iOS tablet when you take a break from your game of 2048 or Angry Birds or catching up on Facebook. (I’m sure you use your tablet strictly for business purposes and catching up on news in a digital format.)

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has released an update to its 2013 Report Card for America’s InfrastructureAndroid/iOS app for tablets and website featuring new state data and graphics. The update is available for free download in the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and at www.infrastructurereportcard.org.

It includes new video content, graphs, charts, and 20 new case studies or “success stories” that underscore the benefits of investing in infrastructure. The new success stories highlight some of the following projects throughout the country:

Small Community Airport Access Program (Virginia)

Interstate 95 Pawtucket River Bridge Replacement (Rhode Island)

Ohio Targets Dam Safety Improvements
