True sustainability isn't about choosing sides; it's about finding balance.
While Maryland pushes $100-$500 million per new mile rail projects, our roads need just $1-$5 million per new mile to keep connecting communities safely and efficiently.
When we shift funding from road maintenance to chase single-pillar solutions, we create gaps that hurt everyone.
Asphalt infrastructure supports all three sustainability pillars:
▪️Environmental (100% recyclable)
▪️Economic (cost-effective at low lifecycle costs)
▪️Social (connecting communities from highways to home).
Let's invest in solutions that work for Maryland's future, sustainably, economically, and socially.
Here's what we mean by balanced sustainability: https://mdasphalt.org/2025/balanced-sustainability/
