- PB’s Highway Sustainability Checklist [ZIP] NEW - This checklist was selected by AASHTO as the winning U.S. entry in the Sustainable Development category for the 2007 World Road Association’s (PIARC) International Competition. The checklist was developed in response to growing interest in an objective, non-prescriptive, broad-based tool that would support the integration of environmental stewardship practices and CSS into day-to-day highway-related practices. The checklist is a compendium of possible measures associated with various phases of highway projects—from planning to design, through construction, operations and maintenance. It is meant to facilitate decisions about the extent to which highway improvements might incorporate measures that go beyond satisfying minimum functional requirements by addressing contextual factors which contribute to sustainability of the natural, built, and human environments. The checklist is flexible and may be adapted to individual agencies or specific project applications.
