Superpave Expertise: Just a Phone Call Away

Looking for some assistance in using the Superpave system? Unsure of where to turn? Members of the Superpave Lead States team's pool of expertise are on call and ready to help. The pool consists of representatives from the Lead States, as well as their partners from FHWA, academia, and industry. They primarily provide technical assistance by phone, but they can also recommend other sources of information, such as technical reports. In addition, an updated Directory of Superpave Resources (Pub. No. FHWA-SA-97-083) is now available and can be ordered from the FHWA Research and Technology Report Center (phone: 301-577-0818; fax: 301-577-1421).
