FHWA's Pavement & Materials program is introducing a new quarterly newsletter to give stakeholders more details about the Accelerated Implementation & Deployment of Pavement Technologies (AID-PT) program.

This summer's issue presents recent key program accomplishments, shares thoughts from FHWA staff in a new AID-PT overview video, provides updates on the new Mobile Asphalt Technology Center (MATC), and offers a video tour of the facility. 

As part of a campaign to better engage stakeholders on pavement preservation, FHWA has also hosted several meetings to discuss current practices and needs, including events:

• In May, FHWA hosted two peer exchanges to discuss state DOT pavement preservation experiences as related to design and inspection. Key findings included the need for improved design and specification practices, well-supported inspection programs, and improved performance models and methods to interface preservation programs with pavement management efforts.
  
  
• In August, FHWA hosted the Pavement Preservation Technical Feedback Group. Over the 1.5-day meeting, representatives from state and local DOTs, industry, and academia discussed key topics such as pavement preservation linkages to asset management, sustainability, and resilience, as well as ongoing FHWA pavement preservation efforts.

Recordings of recent FHWA Pavement Webinar Series are also available for viewing:
