Transportation Infrastructure Payment Practices Show Modest Improvement: Up 4.5 Points Between 2020 and 2021

The Comparison

• 2020: Two transportation infrastructure companies surveyed demonstrated an average payment score of 81.7 out of 100.
• 2021: The same two companies showed an improved average payment score of 86.2 out of 100.

What This Means

While the sector reflected a positive shift in payment behaviour, the 4.5-point improvement between 2020 and 2021 is relatively small, indicating only incremental progress. This suggests that while payment processes may have become slightly more efficient, persistent challenges likely remain within the sector affecting timely invoice settlement; you may find our late payment calculator useful.
