RALEIGH – The American Society of Civil Engineers gave North Carolina's infrastructure an overall grade of C- Tuesday in its 2009 report card.

The ASCE graded North Carolina individually in nine infrastructure areas. State Transportation Secretary Gene Conti said a C- is nothing to brag about.

“I will say that if I brought this report card home to my mother when I was a kid, I would not be very happy," Conti said. "She wouldn't be either.”

There is some good news. Drinking water went from a C+ in 2006, when the last report was issued, to a B- in 2009.

But bridges, the rail system, schools, storm water and waste water all received grades of a C+ or lower. In fact, all received the same grade in 2006 except for the rail system, which received a worse grade. In 2006, it was graded a B-, now it’s a C. But waste water did improve from a C- to a C+.

State leaders said the report should be a wake-up call.

“We've got to do some serious reflection on what we want the state to be and how we're going to get it there with regards to these issues,” Rep. Nelson Cole , D-Rockingham County, said. “It's frustrating from my perspective, along with the other legislators, to see these infrastructure needs that are not being met at this point in time.”
