The Florida Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) announced the 2025 Report Card for Florida’s Infrastructure today, assigning 16 categories of infrastructure a cumulative grade of ‘C+’. This is an upgrade from Florida’s 2021 report card and a notch above the national grade of ‘C’ in the 2025 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure. A ‘C+’ is tied for the highest cumulative grade any ASCE state-focused infrastructure report card has received, and the six categories with grades in the ‘B’-range is the most of any state. This is a testament to proactive and robust state programs to address current and future needs, ensuring Florida’s built environment is equipped to support a booming population and increasingly frequent severe weather challenges.
Florida’s coastal areas, drinking water, energy, ports, stormwater, transit and wastewater grades all improved compared to their 2021 marks, while the state’s aviation and solid waste categories decreased. The 2025 grades are:
| Grade | Categories |
| B+ | Ports |
| B | Bridges, Solid Waste |
| B- | Drinking Water, Energy, Public Parks |
| C+ | Roads, Transit, Wastewater |
| C | Coastal Areas, Rail, Stormwater |
| C- | Aviation |
| D+ | Levees, Schools |
| D- | Dams |
The 2025 Report Card for Florida’s Infrastructure provides insight needed to start conversations and ignite action to improve the 2025 grades and, as a result, the state’s future by:
- Increase funding for maintenance and modernization of aging infrastructure to prepare systems for the future by providing robust, sustained infrastructure investment for all infrastructure sectors.
- Prioritize safety and accessibility in all modes of transportation for all users. This includes speed management solutions on roads and improved pedestrian mobility.
- Build sustainable, resilient infrastructure to supply critical services, protecting society and the environment, from extreme weather or economic events.
- Support research and development to produce knowledge that can be used to generate new technologies and innovations. Technology innovation is crucial for achieving sustainable development goals.
- Increase funding and support for educational programs to develop the future workforce in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. It is vital for our economy to create or expand training programs, to fund career and technical education workforce development programs, and to ensure that workers are connected to job opportunities.
