Indiana is in the bottom third of the country in a new national ranking of highway systems in all 50 states.
The Reason Foundation, a Libertarian policy think tank, ranks each state's highway system every few years. It uses highway data submitted by the states, including fatalities, deficient bridges, pavement conditions, and highway infrastructure spending.
In 2012, 2014, and in the newest update, the Reason Foundation ranked Indiana 36th in the nation. The Hoosier State's rank was helped by its position in fatalities, top third of the country, but hurt significantly by rural Interstate pavement conditions.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Gregg's campaign says the ranking underscores that Indiana's infrastructure isn't good enough and that current leaders aren't doing enough to improve it.
Republican candidate Eric Holcomb's campaign says the state has made record infrastructure investments in recent years…and notes that CNBC, what the campaign calls a "widely recognized organization," ranked Indiana's infrastructure first in the nation.
