Transportation Construction Materials - Towards Net Zero

Description

Sponsored by AGC Minnesota, ARM of MN, CPAM, MAPA, and MnDOT

The 2026 Transportation Materials Towards Net Zero event is a leadership summit intended to provide a roadmap for legislators, agencies, industries, and the engineering community for ultimate attainment of net zero emissions in transportation materials. The focus will be on common areas of interest related to global warming potential, government regulations, and effects on materials used primarily in the transportation sector. The goal of the event is to identify the major items that must be completed to achieve the targets set for reduction of carbon footprint. The items will become a part of the roadmap used in the process.
