Pay To Play: America's Infrastructure Program 2018 And Beyond

Ways to Pay for America's Infrastructure Needs: How will we pay for the future infrastructure bill that is heating up on Capitol Hill? More importantly, bill or no bill, how will we pay for the infrastructure needs of the United States? In its 2017 Report Card, the American Association of Civil Engineers (ASCE) estimated that the U.S. needed to invest $4.59 trillion in its infrastructure between right now and 2027. ASCE estimated that Public Private Partnership (P3) programs will only fund 10-15% of America's infrastructure needs. This blogger believes that the 10-15% must and will be increased to 40-50% for using P3 delivery methods, otherwise our infrastructure will continue to crumble.
