Governors Making The Grade On Infrastructure

National Governors Association Commentary

March 31, 2025

Last week, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) released their 2025 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure, showing an overall grade improvement from C- to C. The report opens with the statement: “America’s infrastructure is the foundation on which our national economy, global competitiveness, and quality of life depend.” This is certainly something that you don’t have to tell Governors, who have been leading the charge for years to enhance infrastructure in their states and territories—including creating new and increasing existing funding streams, advancing public private partnerships, addressing regulatory delays, improving transparency and promoting innovation. 

In alignment with Governors’ priorities NGA has developed a robust infrastructure program which is anchored in transportation, broadband, and general infrastructure implementation and delivery strategies. This program collaborates with adjacent practices in land use, housing, energy, environment, public health, and workforce development; and the team provides technical assistance on request and continually consolidates and distributes timely, actionable infrastructure resources. Bookmark the infrastructure program page for updates and check out the team’s recent look at infrastructure topics in Governors’ 2025 State of the State addresses.
