The U.S. Highway Trust Fund will expire on the last day of this month, and elected officials on Capitol Hill haven't passed a long-term transportation funding measure in years. U.S.Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx is fed up with Congress' inaction. In a July 9 blog post, Foxx yet again called out congress for their lack of action. "W hile you read this, there is a transportation proposal called GROW AMERICA sitting on desks all across Capitol Hill," Foxx writes. "It covers 6 years; it would increase investment in roads, bridges, transit, and freight facilities across the country; and, we sent it to Congress 4 months ago." Secretary Foxx's passionate plea to lawmakers is followed by statistics of American roads and bridges by state, and the results aren't pretty. All together, 65% of roads in the United States are in "less-than-good" condition, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers 2013 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure. The House of Representatives Transportation Committee didn't respond to a request for comment on Secretary Foxx's remarks.
