Despite – in fact, maybe even because – much of Kansas is situated in a rural setting, infrastructure is of vital importance for all communities.  \nThe 2018 Kansas’ Infrastructure Report Card is meant to help Kansans understand the state of our infrastructure. When compared with the 2013 Kansas Infrastructure Report Card, some areas of infrastructure improved due to increased funding and others improved, despite lack of funding, through creative use of available resources. Unfortunately, progress is not uniform, and the Report Card finds that other areas are slipping because of the lack of funding for proper maintenance. Lately, challenging  \nbudget cycles have meant the legislature has resorted to diverting funding for infrastructure to other areas. Would you be upset if one of the following happened?  \n• Your glass of water is cloudy;  \n• You are ankle deep in water outside your door because the water from the 100-year storm could not drain away fast enough;  \n• The bridge between you and your grandma is closed indefinitely and you have to drive an extra 30 miles each time you visit;  \n• You have to drive in the passing lane because the travel lane is too rough with numerous pot holes;  \n• Blackout periods occur on a hot day; or  \nassist infrastructure owners with preservation interventions so our existing infrastructure can be improved.  \nIn 2013, a panel of Professional Civil Engineers and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) members throughout the state graded our infrastructure as a “C.”This past year, an expert team of more than 30 civil engineers was assembled to evaluate and study the major components of our infrastructure. In 2018, the grade improved slightly to a “C.”  \nRecent investments in Kansas’ infrastructure, including levees, bridges, and dams, are yielding results. Looking ahead, we cannot let challenging budget cycles inhibit progress on infrastructure. Also of concern: The Kansas Report Card Committee was unable to grade schools in the 2018 Report Card due to the lack of recent data on public school facilities. However, ASCE applauds the Kansas State Legislature for recentl","cbCaibMRrJ5rTJre","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibMRrJ5rTJre","pdf",16181890,52,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Aviation\n## Bridges\n## Dams\n## Drinking Water\n## Energy\n## Levees\n## Rail\n## Roads\n## Stormwater","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the 2018 Kansas Infrastructure Report Card?\",\"answer\":\"It helps Kansans understand the state of infrastructure and where progress is occurring or slipping.
