Sustainability
Sufficient public and private funding of our nation’s infrastructure is critical to improving the economic prosperity and the quality of life in our country.
The current state of our country's infrastructure is in decline. Inadequate funding has left much of our infrastructure, particularly for transportation, woefully undermaintained and in need of modernization. The lack of investment in our roads and bridges is causing the United States to fall behind other countries in our ability to move people and goods efficiently and to guarantee the next generation an opportunity to compete in the world marketplace. We are committed to working with key stakeholders to support the needed investment in our country's future.
Granite leads and actively participates in programs to influence public policy related to adequate and reliable public funding of our country's infrastructure. Granite’s leaders across the United States are active members of associations that represent our industry. We engage in industry, grassroots, and direct efforts at the local, state, and federal levels to advocate for adequate and sustainable public infrastructure funding to maintain and improve the transportation system of the United States.
