Today, we’re kicking off our annual boondoggles series from US PIRG. This series will explore some of the worst roadway projects across the country, and reveal why it’s incumbent upon the next administration to quash bad road projects once and for all. Check back soon for detailed analysis on each of the projects listed below, and don’t forget to tag your elected officials if a boondoggle near you makes the list. It’s our annual December donation drive. Please give from the heart (and wallet!) by clicking here. Thanks. America’s aging roads and bridges are in increasingly dire need of repair. Tens of thousands of people die on the roads each year and more are sickened or die from air pollution caused by vehicles. Tens of millions of Americans lack access to quality public transit or safe places to walk or bike, leaving them fully dependent on cars or – for those who cannot afford a car or are physically unable to drive – entirely shut off from critical services and opportunities.
