At the California Asphalt Pavement Association (CalAPA) Spring โTechnical Tune-Upโ Educational Workshop held April 5, 2022 in Brea, a presentation titled, "The Road Forward Initiative" was delivered by Brandon Milar, P.E., Technical Director, CalAPA. The Asphalt Industry is focusing on a mission to engage, educate, and empower the U.S. asphalt community to produce and construct net zero carbon emission asphalt pavements. Learn what it means for you.
