Every Day COUNTS Gregory G. Nadeau FHWA Deputy Administrator
Every Day Counts Launched by FHWA Administrator, Victor Mendez, October 2010 • Designed to: • Identify and deploy innovation aimed at shortening project delivery • Enhance the safety and performance of our highways and bridges • Improve environmental sustainability
“There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain of its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things… - Niccolo Machiavelli The Prince, 1532
Warm Mix Asphalt UsagePercentage of Total Asphalt Production in USsource: National Asphalt Pavement Association ~25-30% ~22%+
Impact of Warm Mix Asphalt In 2012… • Savings of over 75 million gallons of fuel duringproduction • Reduction of CO2 emissions by 2,000,000 tons (the equivalent to taking 375,000 vehicles off the road)
Impact of Warm Mix Asphalt If ALL asphalt paving was Warm Mix Asphalt… • Savings of over 300 million gallons of fuel duringproduction • Reduction of CO2 emissions by 8,000,000 tons (the equivalent to taking 1,500,000 vehicles off the road)
“The percentage of DOTs, agencies, and commercial mixtures using WMA more than doubled from 2009 to 2010 … its rapid adoption by highway agencies would not be possible without FHWA’s EDC initiative and focus on innovation. It’s with confidence that we move forward with WMA as "Every Day Practice". Kim Snyder Past Chairman, National Asphalt Pavement Assn.
shortening project delivery • Programmatic Agreements • Locally Administered Projects • Geospatial Data Collaboration • Certification / Qualification Program for LPAs • Innovative Procurement for Engineering Services • Innovative Partnering
