The American Society of Civil Engineers, which houses the Geo-Institute, has released an updated version of their Failure to Act report that covers the impact of infrastructure investment on America's economic future. In it, they calculate that the existing infrastructure investment gap costs each American family $3,400 a year. A video also summarizes the report information. This report is part of the ASCE's "Save America's Infrastructure" campaign which also includes the Report Card for America's Infrastructure that in most recently gave American infrastructure a D+ GPA. ASCE also summarized each presidential candidate's coverage of infrastructure-related topics at their conventions.
