Constituents
The Southeast Pavement Preservation Partnership is a regional forum of pavement professionals from State and Local Agencies, Provincial Transport Agencies, Contractors, Suppliers, Academia, and Federal Government Officials, all working together to take advantage of the synergy to be gained from sharing information and identifying common issues for further investigation. It provides a forum to share and publicize information describing improvements in research, design, specifications, materials and construction practices, and to promote the benefits of Pavement Preservation through education and application.
Mission and Objectives
The Partnership seeks to develop sound pavement investment programs to gain infrastructure and operational efficiencies and satisfy the reporting requirements of GASB 34.
While some states have developed preventive maintenance programs as a key step in preserving their pavement investment and extending their serviceability with cost effective preservation treatments, other states could benefit from a sharing of the knowledge gained from this experience. Such a partnership would develop sound preservation practices by a beneficial sharing of information on treatment designs, construction practices, performance measures, and research needs.
The Partnership’s Vision Statement, Mission Statement, and Objectives may be found in the Partnership’s By-Laws.
Support
The Partnership is supported by voluntary contributions by member agencies made to AASHTO in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Asset Management.
Organization
The Partnership’s policies and major activities are determined by the members and implemented through an elected Steering Committee consisting of a Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary / Treasurer, and Immediate Past Chair. In addition to the Steering Committee, there are ten elected Directors who represent the Partnership’s various constituencies. The Steering Committee conducts the business operations of the Partnership and participates with the National Center for Pavement Preservation (NCPP) in organizing the Annual Meeting.
