CALIFORNIA PAVEMENT PRESERVATION CENTER – CP2 CENTER  Caltrans established the California Pavement Preservation Center at CSU, Chico on July 1, 2006  Purpose is accommodating the needs for pavement preservation services to governmental agencies and the industry sector

MISSION STATEMENT OF CP2 CENTER To serve as a leader in a partnered effort between government, industry and academia participants to advance and improve pavement preservation practices through education, innovation, applied and practical research, technology transfer, and implementation.

CP2 CENTER OBJECTIVES  Serve as a technical resource for pavement preservation activities within the state of California.  Educate others about the benefits of pavement preservation in partnership with the Caltrans and industry. This would involve educational programs at the university as well as distant learning opportunities.  Enhance pavement preservation knowledge through research and training.  Advise and assist others to establish a pavement preservation program.

CIWMB PROJECT OBJECTIVES  Assist in the creation and expansion of sustainable markets of RAC and CE applications of waste tires through education  Teach civil engineering professionals and students to use RAC and apply waste tire in other Civil Engineering projects

PROJECT SCOPE  Continuing education of engineers and technicians in using waste tires in RAC and other CE applications through developing and delivering short courses.  Curricular development of using RAC and other CE applications of waste tires for California Universities and Community Colleges that offer CE curricula
