Description With the U.S. House set to consider sweeping transportation legislation this October, port directors from across the country have issued an urgent call to fully fund programs that will keep America's endangered freight corridors open for business. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, deficient highways could cost businesses and households up to $276 billion by 2020 and up to $1.3 trillion by 2040. About 1,200 miles of these roadways serve as vital freight connections to U.S. ports, which also are in dire need of investment.
