Permeable Pavement Road Map Workshop 2017

Davis, California, USA
November 14-15 2017

Introduction

The University of California Pavement Research Center and the National Center for Sustainable Transportation hosted a Permeable Pavement Road Map Workshop on November 14-15, 2017 at UC Davis. The event was sponsored by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute, the National Asphalt Pavement Association, the National Ready Mix Concrete Association and the Tongji University Sponge City Project. Additional technical support came from the UC Berkeley Institute of Transportation Studies.

Participants were invited from a broad range of agencies involved in pavement, flood control and stormwater quality, from the consulting, materials and construction industries, and from academia, to contribute as well as receive ideas and make connections across each of these domain areas who are all involved with permeable pavement. The workshop goal was to knowledge, information, and communication barriers to adoption of permeable pavement of all types. The final deliverable will be a road map with a comprehensive plan for overcoming barriers and filling information gaps, that also identifies actions and agencies that can help remove technical and institutional barriers to adoption of permeable pavements. We believe this is a much-needed process that can move us closer to institutionalizing permeable pavements as another easily implementable solution available to planners and designers to achieve their transportation, flood control and stormwater quality objectives.
