Introduction

A Greenroad is defined as roadway project that has been designed and constructed to a level of sustainability that is substantially higher than current common practice.

Greenroads is a sustainability performance metric for roadways that awards points for more sustainable practices. Fundamentally, Greenroads is a metric that helps quantify the sustainable attributes of a roadway project. This quantification can be used to:

• Define what project attributes contribute to roadway sustainability.
• Provide a sustainability accounting tool for roadway projects.
• Communicate sustainable project attributes to stakeholders.
• Manage and improve roadway sustainability.
• Grant certification based on achieving a minimum number of points.
