Businesses are spending around 27 billion dollars per year in having extra transportation costs, due to the amount of delays just on highways. The company used the feedback of truck drivers since they are the ones that are driving all day on roads (NRS).

As of right now there are about 4 million roads, yet over the past 20 years the investment in transportation has decreased. (NRS).

With the amount of road conditions, transportation companies are having decreasing in owner operator drivers. Since the owners profit is diminishing due to the effect of maintenance raising their charges, which will cause the owners to go out of business(NRS).

Private roads are another solution in helping improve roads. e safe to drive (Giglio Jr). Private roads are owned by a private individual or organization. They are responsible for paying, cleaning and making sure the roads are safe and smooth.

As of right now one of America's greatest challenges is making sure our infrastructure are safe and stable for the long run. Our author Joseph M. Giglio Jr, professor at Northeasterns Graduate School of Business, admits that even in the 1900's, roads weren't always the best. Claims that the government needed to find a better solution for the "painfully apparent" situation (Giglio Jr).

For each note card, include the following information:

1. What source it is from
2. Label it as a quote or paraphrase
3. In-text citation (LastName 1). Use the timestamp if using a TED Talk.
4. Information you want to use

In an interview at a TED conference, Amanpour explained that "...if you don't understand the truth and if you get trapped in the fake news paradigm, then you are an accomplice" (2:55).

Your goal is to have 6-7 pieces of information for each part of the outline, which is about 25-30 note cards total. You may find that one section has 10 note cards whereas another has only 4. Your topic will determine where you focus your attention. You may not use every note card once you get to the writing stage, but it is always better to have more than less.

For each section of the outline, you should have no more than two quotes. The research paper should rely much more on paraphrasing than quoting. Quotes should only be used when the author's words are especially powerful or effective. Reference information (like a topic overview or Points of View article) can be paraphrased most of the time.

Many thought that the internet would bring about more democratic systems of sharing information since powerful news agencies would no longer be the only news producers; however, the sheer volume of people creating and sharing information in an almost-instantaneous fashion partnered with the use of bots to target specific audiences has overshadowed any predicted benefits (Burkhardt 10-11).

1. You may find it helpful to color code your note cards with your source cards. For example, source 1 is pink, so any note cards that come from that source should be pink.

2. It will save you time later to label your note cards in MLA format by using signal phrases and in-text citations.

3. You can drag note cards from one column to another if you decide the information is a better fit somewhere else.

4. Download your Padlet at the end of work session.

In the past years the Federal Highway Administration has studied the side impacts of the roads. They found out that some designs of the highways are too narrow for transportation, which can be one of the causes of accidents (Reagan).

Andy C. Law reports that as the country continues to age, the amount of hazardous collisions will increase. The article also mentions that "as much as 50 percent of America's infrastructure is in bad condition" (Law).

Andy Citrin also provides information on the different kinds of roads and what their consequences will be later on. Some examples would be potholes, oil and chipped, and slick roads

In the winter time in Alabama, icy patches are a problem. Due to the cold weather, keep in mind with/without the water and ice, ice patches form. The main issue of the formation would be in isolated regions on roads (Law.)

On behalf of the PavemanPro organization, writer Brett Neal, proves that not only weather can cause roads and infrastructure to rot slowly. One of the forms that asphalt, base of the road, is decaying is with the amount of water. Eventually over time, even more without proper care, water causes the asphalt, to wash out the base underneath it. ,Which will  cause it to crack, and break down and eventually collapse (Neal and Pavement Pro.)

# data[].attributes.body
Another reason would be the exposure of chemicals. Any chemical or gas exposing the asphalt will cause the road to soften, and break down quicker  (Neal and Pavement Pro.)

Lastly sunlight is one of the causes of roads to crack down. Oxidization causes the material used on roads to loosen its flexibility on stabilizing its materials together. This causes cracks to form which will result in water getting inside the pavement  (Neal and Pavement Pro.)

The article represents 5 tables, and each one represents data from accidents to cars and pedestrians to where the damage was on the car and how severe the accident was(Reagan).

On top of pilling problems on top of each other, the response's  of the federals will lease America's roads overseas and give up the control of its regulations. If this were to happen, the government will raise the amount of taxes that their citizens are already paying will continue to increase (Tucker and Grant).

The federal government is focusing more on building more bridges and infrastructure, that they don't focus on repairing the "old" ones. They claim that they are spending billions of dollars on fixing our roads, but in reality the money is going towards building more infrastructure or towards other "unnecessary accessories" (Tucker and Grant

One solution that Jacobs and Goodwin have came up with in the article is that "all of those cars on the highway can be replaced with mass transportation" (Jacobs and Goodwin). By doing this, less chemicals will be exposed to our roads and air.

Jacobs and Goodwin both thought that if businesses provided bus transportation for their employers, that neither sides would have to worry about getting stuck in traffic. There are still cities who use this method. For examples New York and Boston use subways and streetcars to get from one side of the city to another.

Before cars were even invented people used trains and buses to travel from one place to another. But, we must understand that people or parents want to get to work, not worry about missing their way of trasnportation to get home and do what they need back at home (Jacobs and Goodwin).
