Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to examine infrastructure requirements within the context of the nation's outlook for long-term growth and vitality. First, a survey is made of the macroeconomic landscape and some of the major structural impediments to long-term economic growth are highlighted. Next long-term targets and forecasts for the U.S. economy are compared to determine what might represent a reasonable goal for U.S. economic growth. Finally, the transportation infrastructure is discussed in the context of long-term macroeconomic goals. The role of highways, transit, and other public works infrastructure in helping to diminish the risk of economic decline and to foster the macroeconomic conditions for long-term growth and stability is addressed.
