Asphalt Pavement Association of Michigan

Welcome to "The Asphalt Report", bringing you the most up-to-date information on the design, construction and maintenance of asphalt pavements. This monthly report will highlight the many benefits of asphalt pavements in terms of Engineering, Economics, and Environmental Sustainability. We hope you find this information helpful.

The Asphalt Pavement Alliance (APA) has developed a new web site full of useful information for agency personnel, consultants, contractors, policy makers and the general public. The information on the site is organized into the general subject areas of Economics, Environment, Engineering, and Policy. The new website is www.AsphaltRoads.org

We - the asphalt pavement industry - are leaders in the construction and maintenance of America's road and highway transportation network. While asphalt pavements serve a national market, they are built by people who live and work in the areas that they serve. Asphalt jobs truly are Main Street jobs that cannot be outsourced overseas. Asphalt jobs are also green jobs; asphalt is America's most reused and recycled material, and virtually every worker in the industry is involved in reuse and recycling in some way.

With one-third of our nation's infrastructure in poor condition and construction unemployment at twice the national rate, there is a need to put people back to work preserving our infrastructure. In addition, $6.2 billion of economic activity is generated for every $1 billion invested in federal highways.
