Our Four Industry Goals
Our roadmap focuses on four strategic imperatives to be achieved by 2050:
- Net Zero Production & Construction: Eliminate emissions during asphalt production and construction.
- Customer Partnerships: Reduce emissions through pavement quality, durability, and efficiency standards.
- Net Zero Supply Chain: Collaborate with suppliers to develop a sustainable materials pipeline.
- Renewable Electricity: Transition to electricity from renewable energy providers.
From research to action.
In collaboration with volunteer leadership, staff, and partners, The Road Forward funds and delivers some of our most advanced research—mapping the industry’s path toward net zero step by step.
