Streets & Roads Collateral for Elected Officials Now Available

Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

NRMCA has worked with more than half a dozen states in the past year to advance concrete paving for streets and roads. In states starting with small market share it has become evident that gaining support of elected officials can move the process forward much faster than appealing exclusively to transportation department officials (see related E-NEWS item above).

NRMCA has developed a one-page model document for elected officials which makes the key points for concrete paving in simple but powerful terms. Click here to view or download a PDF version of the document which was tailored for North Carolina but can be adapted for use in any state, county or city. In the attached version, NRMCA worked with Bill Arent of the Carolinas Ready Mixed Concrete Association and Jerry Reece of the North Carolina Concrete Paving Association to deliver a summary of the benefits for the state and its citizens that can be realized through elected officials' support and implementation of a balanced paving program in the state. The flyer asks for support for equality in the bidding process and a requirement for Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) among other recommendations and cites MIT research results that confirm concrete sustainability and the concrete value proposition.

Please contact Glenn Ochsenreiter at glenn@NRMCA.org or 240-485-1140 if you're interested in working with NRMCA on a version suitable for your state or locality.
