Resource information
The focus of this document is to provide
a wide range of ideas and options to improve the inclusion
of environmental sustainability throughout the road
transportation project cycle (system planning, project
planning and design, construction, and operation and
maintenance) based on environmental sustainability
indicators and highlighting environmentally sustainable
products and materials for road construction. Sustainable
economic growth in low- and middle-income countries is a key
to poverty reduction and shared prosperity, which in part is
dependent on reliable and safe transportation systems. Road
and highway systems provide a critical function in creating
and maintaining a desirable quality of life.
