Asphalt Pavement Alliance’s Pacific Coast Regional Council has launched a new resource for asphalt professionals from the West Coast and Pacific region, the PacCoast Smooth Ride Sentinel blog.
The blog will offer informative, interesting and educational content from state asphalt pavement associations and asphalt mix producers in the region, with the goal of helping road owners and road users alike better understand what the asphalt pavement industry is doing across the region.
“The blog gives a great overview of what asphalt paving companies are doing from Southern California to the Pacific Northwest and out into the Pacific,” said Jon Young, P.E., Executive Director for the Hawaii Asphalt Paving Industry (HAPI).
The PacCoast Smooth Ride Sentinel blog will also cover asphalt pavement innovations, sustainability efforts and career opportunities, all searchable by topic or location.
“People use asphalt roads every day, but they rarely give thought to the material beneath their wheels,” said APA National Director Amy Miller. “The PacCoast Smooth Ride Sentinel is a great tool for helping people learn more about the importance of asphalt pavements as part of our nation’s infrastructure.”
The Pacific Coast Regional Council is one of five regional councils within the Asphalt Pavement Alliance, and covers Alaska, American Samoa, California, Guam, Hawai‘i, Nevada, the Northern Mariana Islands, Oregon, and Washington State.
