Paving Materials Choices and GHG Savings: Greater Phoenix, AZ

Given that the use phase of pavements can comprise up to 78% of their life cycle impact and is mostly driven by pavement-vehicle interaction, it is important to consider the materials used for segments of paving networks. The MIT CSHub has completed a case study of road segments in Phoenix, Arizona, to quantify the GHG savings of switching to reflective flexible, rigid, and reflective rigid pavements.
