Train-the-Trainer: Life-Cycle Cost Analysis Educational Course 

Date: Thursday, July 13, 2:00–3:15 p.m. EDT

Speakers: Jay Hansen, National Asphalt Pavement Association; Amy Miller, Asphalt Pavement Alliance; Harold Mullen, Texas Asphalt Pavement Association; Randy West, National Center for Asphalt Technology; Richard Willis, National Asphalt Pavement Association

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is an evaluation of the total economic worth of a usable pavement segment that analyzes initial costs and discounted future costs over the life of a project segment. The National Center for Asphalt Technology under the guidance of the Best Quality and Competitiveness Task Group of the Pavement Economics Committee has put together three modules covering basic concepts, steps, and inputs; common LCCA concepts promoted by other industries; and an example of LCCA. Learn more about LCCA, the tools available to NAPA members and State Asphalt Pavement Association that educate partners, and about national LCCA activities in this hour and fifteen minute webinar.
