Findings; intent. | 7 | | The Federal Highway Administration supports the | 8 | | development and conduct of efficient pavement preservation | 9 | | programs which address pavements in good condition before the | 10 | | onset of serious damage and allow states to reduce costly, | 11 | | time-consuming rehabilitation and reconstruction projects with | 12 | | improved safety and mobility, reduced congestion, and | 13 | | smoother, longer lasting pavements. | 14 | | Pavement preservation techniques use significantly less | 15 | | energy and have reduced greenhouse gas emissions per year of | 16 | | pavement life compared to hot-mix asphalt overlays, warm mix | 17 | | asphalt overlays, and new construction. | 18 | | Benefits and attributes of implementing a pavement | 19 | | preservation program include no extra increase in budget, an | 20 | | increase in pavement network condition rating, increased user | 21 | | satisfaction, improvements in system safety, reduced cost per | 22 | | mile expenditures, a lowered life-cycle cost, no decrease in | 23 | | hot-mix or concrete volumes, no decrease in the number of |
