• 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.
