Transportation infrastructure provides the backbone for county operations. Annually, counties invest more than $134 billion in building infrastructure and maintaining and operating public works. Owning more roads and bridges than any other level of government, county officials also directly support over one-third of public airports and public transit systems that keep our residents connected in every corner of the country.  

The decisions that county leaders make every day about transportation, infrastructure, land use and economic development policies and investments influence local and national economic opportunities, shape how communities grow and change and contribute to Americans’ quality of life.
