P a g e | 103 Roadway Microenviroment Sustainability The roadway microenvironment is NOT limited to pavement or pavement materials. It is a vibrant and active system.

We believe EPD, ENV, and ESG (Triple E’s) will meld together in short order. To meet the true definition of sustainability in the transportation industry will require a holistic and dynamic approach to systemic carbon and nitrogen reductions. The paving industry has more advantages in helping reach this goal than many believe.
