The organization says that this is a sign of a transportation infrastructure that is continuously improving, says Randal O’Toole, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and author of “Is U.S. Transportation Infrastructure Falling Down?” (For a proprietary report on the State of U.S. Bridges, see the Better Roads annual Bridge Inventory report.)
