yellow pavement stripe on black background		 AASHTO Innovative Highway Technologies All Focus Areas
Lead States Program

The Lead States initiative was launched in 1996 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Task Force on SHRP Implementation. The program provides a means for state transportation agencies that have gained early and extensive experience with the technologies developed or evaluated under the Strategic Highway Research Program to share their practical, real-world experiences with others. The goal: to encourage the implementation of these innovative technologies, to shorten the learning period for others, and to avoid unnecessary and costly duplication of effort.

Lead States have been designated in seven technology areas:

  • Superpave System
  • High-Performance Concrete
  • Anti-Icing/Road Weather Information Systems
  • Innovative Pavement Maintenance Materials
  • Pavement Preservation
  • Concrete Assessment and Rehabilitation
  • Alkali-Silica Reactivity

    A listing of all the Lead States team members can be found by searching the Contacts database (place an * in the Team Role box).
