Currently, public agencies in the United States and Canada have done little to extend the knowledge gained from research and practice in sustainable highway project delivery beyond construction completion and into the pavement preservation and maintenance phase of a road's life cycle. Therefore, there are many opportunities for future research and enormous potential for agencies to accrue benefits in this area of practice.

Following is a summary of the seven major research needs presented in the report: • There is a need for pavement preservation and maintenance-specific research to furnish agency pavement maintenance engineers with the fundamental data on the relative environmental sustainability of common treatments. • There is a need to develop pavement preservation and maintenance-specific life-cycle assessment and cost analysis methods that include values for factors such as carbon sequestration, resource renewability, and other salient elements of environmental sustainability to furnish a rational approach to treatment selection.
