America is dependent on its highway infrastructure - which provides unprecedented mobility for individuals and goods. With more than 2 million miles of asphalt roadways, it is critical that the most efficient materials, designs and construction methods must be utilized to maximize pavement performance.

The National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) at Auburn University has been instrumental in bringing improvements in asphalt pavements to practice across the country for more than two decades.

NCAT was created to ensure this industry's ability to provide pavements that are durable, environmentally friendly, quiet, safe and economical. NCAT works with state highway agencies, the Federal Highway Administration, and the highway construction industry to develop and evaluate new products, design technologies and construction methods which quickly lead to pavement improvements. Its research center and test track make it one of the world's leading institutions for asphalt pavement research and an important source of information for those tasked with maintaining our nation's infrastructure.
