Perhaps not surprisingly, most focused on the first fact on the sheet, showing the percentage of roads rated in poor condition compared to the national average.

Bad Roads Give City Drivers Bumpy Rides — NY Post
Expert: New Jersey’s poor roads could affect business climate — NJBIZ
National survey shows poor Cal road conditions — Sacramento Bee

We’re planning just a few changes and updates to the fact sheet pages over the next couple of weeks, so keep your eyes peeled. (Don’t know what we’re talking about? Check it out at http://t4america.org/statefacts)

Everywhere, roads and bridges are crumbling and demand for housing close to public transportation or in convenient walkable neighborhoods is skyrocketing — but not every state is reacting to these challenges in the same way. So we’ve put together a comprehensive state-by-state analysis of how America is doing on transportation in a nifty interactive map. So go ahead, give it a whirl — and find out how your state stacks up, and send it to your friends and family. Visit the map at http://t4america.org/statefacts

This is the first iteration of these state fact sheets, and they’ll be expanded upon in the coming months. So check back often for changes and new facts.
