John’s Pass is a quaint Fishing Village with shops, restaurants, and bars in Maderia Beach on Gulf Blvd. I love the T-shirts in the surf stores, the Hawaiian shirts, and the seafood at Friendly Fisherman. – mechagenkigaijin on YouTube

Wednesday, November 16th, 2011![2011 Congested Corridors Report screen-shot-2011-11-16-at-110714-am](https://www.infrastructureusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/screen-shot-2011-11-16-at-110714-am.png)
Congestion is a significant problem in America’s urban areas. This is well documented in the
Texas Transportation Institute’s Urban Mobility Report. Powered by 2010 INRIX traffic data,
the 2011 Congested Corridors Report includes analysis along 328 specific (directional) freeway
corridors in the United States. These corridors include many of the worst places for congestion
in the United States, and the detailed data allow for more extensive analysis and a better picture of the locations, times and effects of stop-and-go traffic. The report doesn’t list every bad location for congestion, but the issues explored here advance the understanding of when, how and where congestion occurs.

California: 2011 Statewide Transportation System Needs Assessment
Friday, November 11th, 2011![CLICK TO ZOOM: Table 1-1. Ten-Year Cost-Revenue Summary CLICK TO ZOOM: Table 1-1. Ten-Year Cost-Revenue Summary](https://www.infrastructureusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/screen-shot-2011-11-10-at-122919-pm.jpg)
CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
Today, California’s transportation system is in jeopardy. Investments to preserve transportation systems simply have not kept pace with the demands on them, and this underfunding – decade after decade – has led to the decay of one of the state’s greatest assets. Failing to adequately invest in the restoration of California’s roads,
highways, bridges, airports, seaports, railways, border crossings, and public transit infrastructure will lead to further decay and a deterioration of service from which it may take many years to recover. The future of the state’s economy and our quality of life depend on a transportation system that is safe and reliable, and which moves people and goods efficiently
