Executive SummaryThe State of Canada’s Infrastructure The value of Canada’s civil infrastructure systems (CIS) lies in their delivery ofthe essential services that provide the foundation upon which healthy, prosperousand safe communities are built. However, Canada’s CIS — highways, roads andairports, as well as systems for water supply, storm water management and wastewater treatment — are deteriorating.The Need for ActionFailure to address this deterioration will lead to increasing maintenance andrepair costs, along with reduced levels of service that may threaten public health,the environment and the economic prosperity of our communities. The CIScommunity has reacted to this pressing need by developing a strategy that will guide therehabilitation, replacement and future development of Canada’s CIS. A Technology Road Map(TRM) was identified as the first step in mobilizing the industry for this strategy.We are inviting the governments of Canada to join the CIS community in developing andimplementing a long-term National Infrastructure Action Plan that addresses the challengesfaced by our current infrastructure systems.P A G E 8
