2012 Report Card Unveiling

San Diego County’s infrastructure is critical to the health of our communities and our quality of life.  Our existing infrastructure is aging across the board.  For decades our infrastructure has constantly competed for financial resources to sustain our communities.  San Diego County mirrors our nation, as we all race against time, to keep up with the need for, and expansion of, lifeline infrastructure.

Last year, we began a process of updating our 2005 Report Card.  We gathered industry professionals, to complete the 2012 Report Card.  Aviation, Solid Waste, and Bridges have been added as important elements of our infrastructure.  Since the 2005 Report Card, some categories are now rated higher, with some rated lower, and three categories rated significantly lower.  Overall, the vital message remains the same. Our communities can only thrive if their infrastructure needs are met, and infrastructure improvements are very much needed.

As you will read in this Report Card, San Diego's grades are still not acceptable.  In fact, the 2012 overall rating is actually slightly worse than that of 2005.  There remains substantial work to be done across the county and across all categories to improve the grades and maintain our quality of life in San Diego County. 

No matter what the economic conditions are, it is the responsibility of our engineering and industry community, to understand and work towards improvement of our critical infrastructure.  It is imperative to educate the public on the significance of infrastructure maintenance.  The importance of infrastructure in our lives cannot be underrated.  It is the key to our quality of life and healthy communities.  Please come and join us, as we unveil the 2012 ASCE/APWA/ACEC Report Card.
