TRB Webinar: Quantifying the performance of your pavement preservation

Pavement preservation treatments can be evaluated and quantified in several different approaches. TRB is hosting a webinar on Thursday, March 5, from 2:00 to 3:30 PM Eastern that will explore three different approaches to quantifying the effects of pavement preservation treatments on pavement performance. The presenters will present findings from NCHRP Report 858. They will also showcase student projects on the various factors that can impact pavement preservation performance. The webinar will also discuss applied research for how local agencies can meet preservation policy targets.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Pavement Preservation.
