As agencies strive to reduce the carbon footprint of transportation infrastructure, integrating sustainability into project design and material procurement is more critical than ever. This session will explore strategies for incorporating sustainability early in the design process, engaging suppliers to source low-carbon materials, and leveraging emerging technologies in construction. Speakers will discuss practical applications of low-carbon concrete, including pre-cast solutions like New Zealand-style raised pedestrian crossings, as well as the role of carbonation in material performance. Attendees will also learn how pilot projects—such as ADA-compliant infrastructure—can serve as testing grounds for innovative, sustainable materials with fewer regulatory barriers.
Mobile tours meet outside the DoubleTree lobby. Be prepared to walk a total of 1.5 miles total along a route that includes a slight incline. Wear appropriate footwear and consider bringing water, smartphone, and dress for the weather (i.e. sunscreen or rain layers, if necessary).
If you need to walk less, you can take the Portland Streetcar A Loop from from NE 7th & Holladay three stops to NE MLK & Burnside to meet the tour nearby at NE Davis & NE Grand.
