TERRA Innovation Series
Sustainability in Transportation
August 20, 2010
Madison, WI 53703
Transportation plays an important role in creating a sustainable future. For example, pavement preservation measures such as recovering asphalt from recycled shingles, using porous pavements, and using fly ash to stabilize bases provide environmental benefits as well as cost-savings.
This TERRA Innovation Series event highlighted sustainability in transportation. The event was held in conjunction with the 2010 Mid-Continent Transportation Research Forum.
