As the pavement research and tools from MIT’s Concrete Sustainability Hub have evolved over the past few years, a consensus for a new approach to streets and roads concrete promotion has developed among PCA, ACPA and NRMCA in concert with many industry companies. The new approach emphasizes the value of increased competition between asphalt and concrete with the aim of encouraging fair and equitable pavement-type selection policies and practices.

Promoters and sales employees in particular may be interested to learn more about this approach in an article in NRMCA's quarterly magazine, Concrete InFocus, that is now reaching members both in print and online. Jointly written by ACPA’s Leif Wathne and NRMCA’s Glenn Ochsenreiter, the article explains the potential benefits for taxpayers and our industry. The article is also available in the online version of the magazine available here.
