Implementation of Ontario's Pavement Sustainability Rating System - GreenPave
Sustainability is an increasingly important consideration in road building across North America. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) recently reinforced its commitment to sustainability by releasing a Sustainability Implementation Plan (SIP) that reflects the collective responsibility to optimize infrastructure design, capacity, and investment. In an effort to bring awareness of "green" initiatives to designers, MTO was inspired to create a user-friendly and quantifiable system to promote sustainable pavement technologies for the design, construction, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and preservation of pavements. This led to the development of a green pavement rating system for MTO known as GreenPave. This paper describes the concept and development of GreenPave and the implementation strategies used for GreenPave. Since implementation in 2011, a total of 91 pavement design and construction projects have been assessed, 41 of which have been GreenPave certified. A GreenPave evaluation of a resurfacing project using warm mix asphalt is provided in the paper.
