This study presents investigations on infrastructure report cards published regularly in developed countries such as U.S. and Australia. Each of the report cards has its unique evaluation method and characteristics reflecting their current state of infrastructure and political and social situation. The report cards are analyzed in terms of infrastructure evaluating methods, and features included in each report card are compared each other to derive implications to the infrastructure maintenance system of Korea. Also, several recommendations to successfully introduce and develop the report card system to Korea are given in this paper.
