Hey NAPA
Mission
Engage, educate, and empower the U.S. asphalt community to produce and construct net zero carbon emission asphalt pavements.
Vision
Sustainable communities and commerce, connected by net zero carbon emission asphalt pavements.
Measuring Our Progress
We’re tracking our progress on The Road Forward with periodic reports. The latest report, released in January 2026, examines activities undertaken in 2025. It follows a report issued in January 2025 looking back at the program’s first three years (2022-2024). These reports encapsulate our shared progress toward industry goals, tabulate outcomes and outputs, and outline future developments.
Learn the Lingo
Marking successful progress toward net zero carbon emissions means learning a whole new set of terms. Use the glossary to catch up on climate terminology.
Acknowledgements
Beginning in 2025 with NAPA Board of Directors approval, this initiative receives guidance on strategy, activities, and sabbaticals from The Road Forward Steering Committee, elected by The Road Forward Partners. We extend our thanks to these action-oriented leaders.
