Pavement Preservation Journal, Winter 2012, Volume 5, Number 6
Now that the dust has settled after the enactment of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) surface transportation legislation, with the concepts of asset management and preservation incorporated into the bill, we have a clearer view of pavement preservation and MAP-21.
In brief: Our work has just begun, and your input to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on preservation in MAP-21 will be needed very soon.
An article in this month’s issue elaborates point-by-point the provisions included in MAP-21 that relate to pavement preservation. Provided by our “inside-the-Beltway” representative, Tracy Taylor of Williams & Jensen LLC, these points underscore the great progress we have made in codifying pavement preservation into federal law. Ms. Taylor will provide an analysis of MAP-21 and how the pavement preservation elements will be administered in our Spring 2012 issue.
