PAVEMENT PRESERVATION: A ROAD MAP FOR THE FUTURE. IDEAS, STRATEGIES, AND TECHNIQUES FOR PAVEMENT PRESERVATION, FORUM HELD OCTOBER 26-28, 1998, KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI

The purpose of this forum was to examine and discuss where the Nation stands on pavement preservation and where we want to be by the year 2005 with regard to roadway safety, higher customer satisfaction, and effective agency pavement strategies. The more than 200 participants in the workshop came from 32 States and represented industry, research, academia, and Federal, State, and local governments. They exchanged ideas on how to meet challenges in the areas of local government, management, training, data management, research, and marketing/public relations. In each breakout session, participants discussed a straw list of background issues and challenges developed by the steering committee. Participants were asked to identify roadblocks and develop consensus on a strategy for achieving the desired outcome. Breakout groups were also encouraged to explore different topics and to come up with their own lists of challenges. This report presents a summary of the key challenges, recommendations, and action items identified during the workshop. The report is intended to bring about a positive change in the way we pursue pavement preservation.
