The Cost of Doing Nothing
• Costs of an inadequate system– $11.6 billion annually – lost time, wasted fuel, crashes, etc.
• $3,014 annually per driver– $370 per driver per year for auto repairs due to poor roads
• Safety impacts of an inadequate system– Total crashes in 2011: 284,049– Total cost of crashes : $8.25 billion– Total fatalities: 889– Total injuries: 71,796
Benefits of Acting Now
• The economic impacts in the first two years:– 12,000 jobs each year– $1.598 B in personal income– $2.92 B in Gross State Product
• In the next 10 years, this $1.2 billion/year investment will generate:– Over $10 billion in real personal income– More than $24 billion in Gross State Product
• PLUS, better roads & transit, greater efficiency, improved safety

Impact Could Be Felt in 2013
• If action is swift, work can begin this summer– If not, real progress will be delayed to next summer
• Transportation agencies and contractors are eager to do the work– MDOT’s program and lettings are 1/3 less in 2013 than
what they were 4-5 years ago ($650M vs. $930M)
• Making investments to improve our state’s roads and bridges is sound economic policy.
• The conditions of Michigan’s roads and bridges continue to deteriorate.
• There is not enough money being generated to support our infrastructure system.
• The average Michigan citizen pays $357 annually in unnecessary repairs to their vehicles due to poor roads.
• If we fix the roads, 1,000 lives over the next 10 years could be saved.
• Investing in our roads now benefits everyone in the state.
Leading businesses. Moving Michigan forward.
