Keeping roads in good shape reduces greenhouse gas emissions, study finds
Keeping road pavement in good shape saves money and energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, more than offsetting pollution generated during road construction, according to a Rutgers-led study.
New historical emissions trends estimated with the community emissions data system
