The Reason Foundation’s 17th Annual Report on the Performance of State Highway Systems has just been released. Here’s how Tennessee breaks down:
Tennessee ranked 19th in overall performance and cost-effectiveness. In last year’s rankings, Tennessee ranked 20th overall. Tennessee is 30th in urban interstate congestion, with 46.51 percent congested. The state tied for 1st in rural interstate condition and 18th in urban interstate condition. Tennessee ranks 13th in deficient bridges—18.83 percent of the state’s bridges are deemed structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. Tennessee is 37th in the nation in fatality rates per 100 million vehicle miles traveled.
Um, cheery note to end on. And we still want to know about those deficient bridges.

Hope that helps shed a little light on the numbers. I actually originally thought it was ranked highest to lowest, but after a little digging I found the breakdown.
