While the nation’s infrastructure earned a C- in the 2021 Infrastructure Report Card, Virginia faces infrastructure challenges of its own. For example, driving on roads in need of repair in Virginia costs each driver $517 per year, and 4.4% of bridges are rated structurally deficient. Drinking water needs in Virginia are an estimated $8.1 billion. 356 dams are considered to be high-hazard potential. The state’s schools have an estimated capital expenditure gap of $973 million. This deteriorating infrastructure impedes Virginia’s ability to compete in an increasingly global marketplace.
Terrorist Attacks on Critical Infrastructure Sectors
Among the terrorist attacks that did target critical infrastructure, certain sectors were impacted more than others. Between 1970 and 2015, more than two‐thirds (68%) of all attacks on critical infrastructure in the United States targeted the commercial facilities (22%), government facilities (21%), healthcare and public health (14%), and financial services (11%) sectors.
