Sustainable Multimodal Planning and Asset Management of Transportation Systems in Small Urban and Rural Communities

This project explores sustainable planning and asset management practices for transportation systems in small urban and rural communities. Focusing on economic sustainability and equity, the study will assess the integration of asset management with transportation planning, prioritizing low-carbon asphalt pavements and resource allocation. Anticipated outcomes include strategies for equitable funding distribution and environmental sustainability through enhanced asset management practices, tailored to the unique challenges of rural and small urban regions.

The study is expected to yield practical, sustainable planning and asset management frameworks, helping agencies allocate funds for transportation systems that meet community-specific goals. Results will highlight low-carbon infrastructure solutions that enhance sustainability, especially in rural areas​.
