In an article titled “City of Eugene leads the <br />way in RAP,” in its spring 2015 Centerline newsletter, the Asphalt Pavement <br />Association of Oregon credits Eugene with being the first entity in Oregon to exceed <br />the standards specified by the Oregon Department of Transportation for the use of <br />recycled asphalt pavement (RAP). <br /> <br /> <br />“One of the reasons we’re exploring higher levels of RAP content is to meet City sustainability goals,” says Jenifer Willer, <br />P.E., manager of the City’s pavement preservation program. “Using RAP means less asphalt waste in landfills. But there’s <br />also potential for economic benefit.” <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 3 <br />May 7, 2015 <br />
