“A new report by the Institute for Transportation & Development Policy (ULI) and Ernst & Young looks at the challenges faced by many U.S. cities to provide adequate infrastructure services for their residents, workers and businesses. Already under-funded, America’s infrastructure investments will be further stifled this year by pressures to cut federal spending and reduce the deficit, compelling cities to be evermore creative and resourceful in securing partnerships to start or continue infrastructure projects. The report provides a snapshot of the infrastructure challenges across the U.S., particularly those related to transportation, faced by 20 major U.S. metropolitan regions – Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York City, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C.”
