Abstract:This project is a Greenroads Pilot Project on the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) project "US 97: Lava Butte – S.
Century Drive Section." Greenroads is a sustainability rating system for roadway design and construction (a complete description of
Greenroads and its development can be found in TransNow report TNW 2009‐13 and/or the Greenroads Manual available at
www.greenroads.us). A Greenroads Pilot Project uses the Greenroads Rating System on an existing or planned project to
determine (1) how the project scored as it is/was designed and constructed, (2) what the project could have scored had it pursued
a Greenroads rating, (3) where best to revise the Greenroads Rating System to make it more usable for project personnel, and (4)
determine how the Greenroads Rating System could best be used by the project and owner agency in pursuit of their sustainability
goals. Key findings from this Pilot Project are:
- The project met 8 of 11 Project Requirements.
- The project achieved 46 Voluntary Credit and Custom Credit points.
- If the remaining 3 Project Requirements are completed, the project could be certified at the Silver level.
- Four potential custom credits were identified to be developed for ODOT.
- Six credits were identified as needing modification based on project observations.
- Medium to large ODOT projects (above $10 million) have the potential to score well in Greenroads.
- The publicity generated by this Greenroads Pilot Project was substantial.
