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.
