“The collective efforts from highway agencies and industry partners to advance warm mix asphalt technologies as a standard practice has been tremendous.”
-Office of Pavement Technology, FHWA
“*We+ support the development and implementation of warm-mix asphalt … this will inevitably become the standard practice for asphalt mixture production.”
- Global Asphalt Pavement Alliance
“WMA technology provides an important tool to the pavement engineer … designers and contractors alike now have a great opportunity to learn more about this promising practice which is revolutionizing the paving industry in North America.”
-Pete Grass, President, Asphalt Institute
“WMA is the future of flexible pavements in the U.S. … lowering our production and paving temperatures promises improved energy consumption, operations, and quality.”
-Mike Acott, President, NAPA

Performance Metrics
1. By December 2011, 40 State DOTs and all Federal Lands Divisions will have a specification &/or contractual language that allows WMA on Federal-aid or Federal Lands projects.
2. By December 2012, at least 30 State DOTs will have achieved set targets for WMA usage.

The Givens
• WMA will continue to gain market share
• New innovations will occur
• Research will be challenged to keep up
• The demand for knowledge and training will grow
• Change is certain!!

Where do we go from here?
• Evaluation processes … AASHTO NTPEP
– Rigorous but not burdensome
• Demonstrate successful projects
• Document test results
• Successful field trials
– Not too time-consuming

Where do we go from here?
• Research
– Short term performance is very promising
– Document long term performance
• Fatigue and cold temperature properties
– WMA pavement ageing progression in the field
– Lubricating phenomenon within mixture
– Lab performance vs. field performance
