The ASCE report is published every four years and evaluates the nation's infrastructure in 18 categories based on eight criteria.
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) released its 2025 “Infrastructure Report Card” for the United States on March 25. This report evaluates the country’s infrastructure on a scale from “A” to “F,” considering conditions and needs across 18 categories. On this year’s evaluation, the U.S. received a “C” grade, representing an improvement compared to the last assessment conducted in 2021.
The ASCE report is published every four years and evaluates the country’s infrastructure in 18 categories, based on eight criteria. It not only focuses on bridges and roads but also includes various physical structures such as airports, schools, ports, and drinking water systems. For the first time, broadband evaluation is also included.
Results of the U.S. Infrastructure Report Card
Compared to the 2021 assessment, this year’s report shows higher grades in eight categories; however, half of the categories remain in the “D” range. Eight categories (dams, hazardous waste, inland waterways, levees, ports, public parks, roads, and transit) improved compared to the 2021 report. On the other hand, the energy and railroad categories saw a decline in their grades.
The ports category received the highest grade, while stormwater and transit received the lowest. Below are the grades assigned by ASCE to the 18 evaluated categories:
- B: Ports
- B-: Railroad
- C+: Broadband, Solid Waste
- C: Bridges, Hazardous Waste
- C-: Inland Waterways, Drinking Water, Public Parks
- D+: Aviation, Dams, Energy, Levees, Roads, Schools, Wastewater
- D: Stormwater, Transit
The ASCE noted that the overall “C” grade assigned to U.S. infrastructure undoubtedly reflects an improvement compared to 2021. Furthermore, this is the highest grade given by ASCE since the analysis began in 1998.
ASCE recommends maintaining current infrastructure investments
Despite the positive result, ASCE estimates a $3.7 trillion gap between the planned infrastructure investments and what is needed to make U.S. infrastructure function properly. ASCE highlighted other key infrastructure trends in its report, which can be summarized as follows:
- The aging infrastructure systems increase vulnerability to natural disasters and extreme weather events, creating risks for public safety and impacting economic activity.
- Recent federal and state investments have had a positive impact, but the full effects of the increased funding will take years to materialize.
- Sustained investments are crucial to ensure certainty, turn planning into development, and make large-scale infrastructure projects feasible.
- The lack of reliable data on key performance indicators continues to affect certain infrastructure sectors, with limited or unreliable information in some areas.
ASCE emphasizes the need for legislators to maintain current federal infrastructure investment levels while also increasing the involvement of state, local governments, and the private sector. These efforts could reduce costs for U.S. households and stimulate economic growth in the country.
