Come hear how road projects are solving environmental problems.

Professor Steve Muench, Assistant Professor, UW Civil and Environmental Engineering, will speak on Greenroads. Greenroads is a sustainability performance metric, or "rating system", for roadway design and construction. It is applicable to new and reconstructed/rehabilitated roadways. It awards points for approved sustainable choices/practices and can be used to assess roadway project sustainability.

The University of Washington has been the leader in developing sustainability performance metrics for road systems in the nation. Performance standards for transportation projects are being promoted at all levels.

Come hear one approach to performance standards related to green sustainability.

Complimentary coffee, tea, and rolls will be available.
The usual location: Unigard Campus, Olympic Bldg., Lake Washington Room.  Directions here.
