This synthesis reports on the state of the practice in sustainable pavement maintenance and preservation. It is concerned and directed at quantifying and understanding how pavement maintenance and preservation practices minimize environmental impacts. The FHWA differentiates between pavement preservation and pavement maintenance and uses this to allocate federal funds accordingly. Although Canadian agencies recognize and practice the concepts of pavement preservation, there is no regulatory differentiation between it and maintenance as compared with the United States. Pavement preservation promotes environmental sustainability by conserving energy, virgin materials, and reducing greenhouse gases by keeping good roads good. Therefore, the foundation of a sustainable pavement maintenance program is to commit personnel and resources to pavement preservation.
