PHILADELPHIA, July 16, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Thursday, July 19, at its annual Summer Leadership Meeting, the US Conference of Mayors (USCM) will release the next installment of its on-going series of U.S. Metro Economies Reports, providing 2011 economic output numbers (Gross Metropolitan Product) for the nation's 363 metro areas in addition to the 2012 economic outlook. The report, prepared by IHS Global Insights, will also address the role of transportation infrastructure in metro economies, projecting that increases in population, employment, exports and economic output will dramatically increase congestion unless the nation commits to greater investments in transportation infrastructure.
