In a recently issued report, TRIP, a nonprofit organization that researches, evaluates, and distributes economic and technical data on surface transportation issues, observes that the roads and bridges that serve and connect the nation’s rural areas face a number of significant challenges, including inadequate capacity to handle the growing levels of traffic and commerce, limited connectivity, the inability to accommodate growing freight travel, deteriorated road and bridge conditions, a lack of desirable safety features, and a traffic fatality rate far higher than all other roads and highways.
