Transportation infrastructure plays a critical part in supporting the nation's economy and the construction industry plays a key role in building, maintaining, and improving the systems. Annual public investment in highway infrastructure is approximately $160 billion, transit infrastructure is approximately $30 billion and airport runway improvement $7 billion. Railroad investment is largely from the private sector and is approximately $30 billion per year.

Despite these investment levels, transportation infrastructure investment is still inadequate. ذكذكتسئµ of America is a leading advocate for transportation infrastructure investment at the Federal level and ذكذكتسئµ chapters nationwide are important proponents of transportation infrastructure investment at the state and local levels.
