America is a big country – and we depend on efficient ways to transport goods and people from one place to another for economic growth, productivity, and overall quality of life. But the United States is consistently challenged to deliver projects on time and on budget. Construction costs for highways have more than tripled since the 1960s. Urban transit projects cost as much as six times what comparable projects cost in other developed nations. By tackling these inefficiencies, America can ensure that taxpayer dollars go further; projects are completed more effectively; and our transportation systems deliver safer, more reliable mobility.
