What is CAPRI?

CAPRI brings together all stakeholders in the highway construction and maintenance industry working to improve asphalt pavement cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and safety. We are a consortium of all stakeholders including DOTs and other organizations that are improving asphalt pavements by addressing knowledge and research gaps in the industry.

CAPRI operates as a consortium of flexible pavement stakeholders open to all state, local, and federal highway agencies, industry associations, companies, academic institutions, and research organizations. Each participating entity may appoint one voting representative to CAPRI. NCAT manages administrative duties.

How can CAPRI help you?

CAPRI can help familiarize you with new technologies that are ready to implement, and that can improve your asphalt pavements in sustainability, durability, and economy. CAPRI also allows you to be a part of the conversations that shape future research in the asphalt pavement industry.
