ASCE’s 2025 Infrastructure Vision is a comprehensive plan to improve the nation’s infrastructure by 2025. The plan was developed by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and outlines a number of goals and objectives for improving the nation’s infrastructure, including:
Improving the resilience of the nation’s infrastructure to natural disasters and other threats.Modernizing the nation’s infrastructure to meet the needs of the 21st century.Making the nation’s infrastructure more sustainable.Investing in infrastructure to create jobs and boost the economy.The plan is based on a comprehensive assessment of the nation’s infrastructure and identifies a number of key areas where improvements are needed. The plan also includes a number of recommendations for how to make these improvements, including:Investing in new infrastructure projects.Upgrading and repairing existing infrastructure.Adopting new technologies and practices.Improving the coordination between different levels of government and the private sector.ASCE’s 2025 Infrastructure Vision is a bold and ambitious plan, but it is also a necessary one. The nation’s infrastructure is aging and in need of repair, and the plan provides a roadmap for how to make the necessary improvements. The plan is also based on a sound understanding of the economic and social benefits of investing in infrastructure, and it is expected to create jobs, boost the economy, and improve the quality of life for all Americans.
The plan has been praised by a number of experts, including former Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, who said that the plan “provides a clear and concise roadmap for how we can improve our nation’s infrastructure.” The plan has also been endorsed by a number of organizations, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers, and the American Public Works Association.
