Scenario: If 75% of folks said they were not happywith something, 75% of folks said they would agree tospend money to fix that issue, and 70% were willing tosign a petition to do just that, what level of success ratewould you give that particular issue?

Well, that is exactly what Arkansas citizens fillingout a survey on the ARDOT website have said. 75%are not satisfied with the condition of state highways,75% are willing to support a program to generate addi-tional revenue, and 70% would sign a petition to do so.Easy, right? No, and that is why AAPA continues to meet and discuss funding forour state’s infrastructure. I believe I have probably mentioned in most, if notevery, letter the need to educate the general public on where our road fundingcomes from and our total needs to 1) maintain, 2) sustain, 3) improve! Next timeyou have an audience, ask how many folks knew that very little of auto-relatedfees actually go to road funds. You will be shocked at how many will challengeyou on the fact. Regardless of what direction is decided, the need for education isvital.

Along the same lines, the election cycle is in full swing and now is the time tomake changes and vote for those who will vote for us. If you have not done soalready, I would ask for your donation to theAAPA PAC so we can make a difference.

We will once again be meeting at the EmbassySuites in West Little Rock for the QualityConference on January 3-4, 2019. TheConference committee will be meeting soon toput together another top-notch agenda full of educational and beneficial informa-tion.

Additionally, we have set the Annual Convention for March 26-28, 2019, atthe number one tourist attraction in Tennessee: Bass Pro Pyramid in Memphis.Be on the lookout for more information, and get ready for comradery, fellowship,and a great time.

As you read this letter, we are in process of inducting an additional 3 folks intothe prestigious AAPA Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony will be heldNovember 1. The location is yet to be determined, but please make plans toattend so that we can honor those who have made a major positive impact in ourindustry. We owe these folks a great deal of gratitude.

The safety topic for this letter is Back to School. Schools will be in sessionsoon, meaning children and school buses will be added back to the normal busycommute. Be extremely careful when approaching school zones and DO NOTtalk or text on your phone in a school zone! You never know – some future AAPAHall of Fame inductees could be on the streets or on those buses.

Thank you all for making this industry and our association prosperous and thenumber one choice for pavement usage.

God Bless you and our industry.

Anew generation of thin-lift asphalt overlays calledThinlays™ are a popular approach to pavementpreservation because of their ability to provide

improved ride quality, reduce pavement distresses, maintainsurface geometrics, reduce noise levels, reduce life-cyclecosts, and provide long-lasting service.

Thin asphalt overlays are a time-proven method forextending the life of pavement structures that are still inserviceable shape. When used for pavement preservation,Thinlays can help agencies better manage both pavementcondition and scarce funds. Thinlays can also help increase

Thin Is InAAPA spreads the word on Thinlays at

three Lunch and Learns around the Statethe structural capability of a roadway when used with well-built pavements.

If you are interested in using Thinlay asphalt, contactAAPA or your local asphalt supplier for more information.

Thank you to Larry Patrick of Oklahoma Asphalt PavingAssociation for crossing the river to present at the threeLunch and Learns in NWA, Jonesboro, and Little Rock. Bigthanks to our sponsors: APAC-Central, Asphalt Producers,Atlas Asphalt, Delta, and Hutchens Construction.

APAC-Central, Inc.Smith; Sebastian, Crawford, Franklin, Logan, Johnson,Scott; the Harrison Area; and Boone, Searcy, and NewtonCounties.

APAC-Central recently completed several I-49 projectsassociated with the CAP Highway program from2013-2017 with contracts over $170M with 0 recordable accidents and 0 lost time incidents.

When AAPA was first founded in 2001, APAC-Central played a significant role. They have found valuein the association because it is a way for industry leadersto form a dialogue to promote asphalt statewide. It allowsinteraction with ARDOT officials and other cities andcounty leaders to come together for a common purposein promoting asphalt paving.

Infrastructure Quick Fact Sheet ▲

Arkansas has the 12th largest highway system in thecountry, with over 16,400 miles of roads, but ranks43rd in revenue received to maintain roads.

• Every dollar spent on infrastructure goes around in theeconomy 3-5 times – a great investment.

• Every billion dollars spent creates and maintainsapproximately 21,000 jobs.

• A recent independent study from an ArkansasIndependent Legislative Audit found that Arkansas needs anadditional $478 million annually just to maintain the roadsat an average level, not gold standard.

• Over 70% of our funding comes from a non-indexedfuel tax; however, the overall goal is to use less fuel, and weare. It has not increased since the 90s.

• Trump is promoting Public-Private Partnership forfuture state funding; this is not a good formula for a ruralstate like Arkansas. We simply do not have enough trafficfor tolls and private roads.

• To make matters worse, we receive over 54% of our

It’s not news that highway funding is a big issue not only in Arkansas but across the nation.But how can we educate those not involved in the industry? Here are a few facts you can useto help others understand the need for increased highway funding to maintain roads.

funding from the federal government due to declining localmoney available. In the 90s we only needed 36% to main-tain roads. The forecast at this point is for 40% less fundingafter 2020.

• 82% of Arkansas roads are in poor or fair condition.Only 18% are considered good.

• Letting roads deteriorate costs much more than propermaintenance. An overlay costs $100,000 per mile vs. $1.5million per mile for reconstruction.

• Between 1980 and 2016, highway funding comparedto the State’s General Revenue has decreased from over 14%to 6% of the General Revenue.

• If highway funding in Arkansas had remained at 14%,we would have the $478 million currently needed as foundin the recent Independent Legislative Audit.

• Coming up with enough money to federal matchingfunds has become very difficult. If we do not have enoughmoney for matching funds, it will be hard to get thatmoney back in the future. We need to have matchingmoney.

Maintaining roads makes them safer.
