Report: Top 100 Infrastructure Projects in the United States
May 14, 2009    CG/LA Infrastructure
CG/LA used three filters to compile this list: likelihood of timely completion; capacity to encourage economic competitiveness; and relevance to the Obama Administration's priorities.

The total value of the projects estimated by CG/LA is $366 billion, of which $58.3 billion would be dedicated to 16 surface transportation projects (2 bridge, 14 highway).

Statistician: American VMT down for 15th consecutive month
May 6, 2009    Esquire
Political journalist and statistical savant Nate Silver crunched almost 30 years of data and built a regression model "that accounts for both gas prices and the unemployment rate in a given month" to predict how much driving Joe and Jane America should do, and juxtaposed the results with how much driving they actually do. The result? Significant and relatively consistent declines that Silver interprets as clear signs of a changing car culture. Silver admits that because driving tendencies have been inelastic for so long, this decline could be a delayed reaction from the 2008 oil run-up, coupled with the domestic doldrums and other geopolitical influences. More concrete conclusions will be made after the summer driving season, once drivers have had 12-months to adjust and react to prices.
