The activity of material transportation regarding the project of road construction indicated several negative impacts on the environment including the greenhouse gas emissions release. In developing sustainable development strategy especially in transportation infrastructure, it is necessary to find a strategy in reducing greenhouse gas emissions of road construction cycle. This study aimed to estimate and evaluate the greenhouse gas emissions reduction in the flexible pavement material transportation process unit. The life cycle assessment was used to estimate the emissions produced. The greenhouse gas emissions evaluation did not only underline the reduction percentage, but also on the relative cost of the reduction. The approach of cost effectiveness analysis concept was implemented to estimate the cost effectiveness. The results showed that the greenhouse gas emissions in the dump trucks use variation in the flexible pavement material transportation process unit ranged from 2.99% to 6.23%. Every alternative in emissions reduction showed the potential to decrease the greenhouse gas emissions at a cost comparable to emissions that could be reduced.
