Transportation Materials Resource Center

Departments of Transportation (DOTs) have shown a growing interest in harnessing the benefits of innovative materials in transportation infrastructure. However, without proper evaluation of these materials, DOTs remain hesitant to fully incorporate them into their infrastructure. The Transportation Materials Resource Center (TMRC) aims to reduce these hesitancies by evaluating potentially innovative construction and maintenance materials using life cycle analysis and materials assessments, sharing the results through information exchanges and development of standards and certifications for materials partner agencies would like to incorporate into their transportation infrastructure. OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of the TMRC is to champion the identification and evaluation of innovative materials for use in transportation infrastructure.
