Monthly Transportation Construction Contract Awards Report

The monthly U.S. Transportation Construction Market Report provides the number and value of new contracts awarded each month by state and local DOTs for transportation construction projects. The data is broken out by state for highway, bridge, port and waterway, railroad and airport projects.

The value of new transportation contract awards in YTD March 2012 was down 20.3 percent compared to March 2011, to $11.3 billion.

Value of Transportation Construction Put In Place

The market intelligence reports include the monthly Value of Construction Put In Place Report, which tracks the value of construction work completed for all modes of transportation, including highways, bridges, airports, public transit systems and water transportation facilities.

The value of construction put in place on transportation projects in March fell to less than $7.1 billion from $7.2 billion in March 2011 and $7.4 billion in March 2010. Year to date, $19.4 billion of construction work has been put in place on transportation projects, down 2.7 percent from the same part of 2011 and the lowest amount in five years.

Federal Highway Obligation Report

The monthly Federal Highway Obligation Report tracks state-by-state data on the amount of federal funds obligated each month for federal-aid highway and bridge projects.

Despite a modest increase in obligations in April, and with FY 2012 more than half over, State and local transportation agencies have obligated only $11.50 billion of federal highway funds for projects, barely $300 million over last year’s anemic pace and less than one-third the total funding anticipated for FY 2012.

Quarterly Market Conditions Survey Report

The Quarterly Market Conditions Survey Report offers a broad range of data on current transportation construction market conditions and the outlook from a survey of ARTBA contractor members. This report is also available to any contractors that participate in the survey.

Transportation Construction Employment Report

The Transportation Construction Employment Report is a monthly update on employment in the industry.

There were 233,500 workers employed by highway and bridge contractors in March 2012. Employment in highway and bridge construction fell by 1.1 percent in March compared to March 2011, a decrease of about 2,500 workers.
