transportation infrastructure
Roads and rails
Transportation infrastructure is the physical systems and facilities that enable movement of people and goods: roads, bridges, railways, airports, ports, and transit networks.
The term often appears in political and economic contexts discussing public investment: The bill allocates billions for transportation infrastructure.
Aging or inadequate transportation infrastructure is a perennial concern in policy debates.
