The Airport Asphalt Pavement Technology Program (AAPTP) is a cooperative agreement effort between the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to advance asphalt pavements and pavement materials. The AAPTP advances solutions for asphalt pavement design, construction, and materials deemed important to airfield reliability, efficiency, and safety. The program leverages NAPA’s unique technology implementation capabilities with assistance from the FAA and industry to advance deployment and adoption of innovative asphalt material technologies. Funding for this website and accompanying applications was provided by the United States Department of Transportation, FAA.
The Asphalt Paving Handbook – 2025 Edition provides practical guidance for asphalt pavement construction, inspection, and field operations. This updated edition includes integrated video references and digital resources designed to support training, field implementation, and technology transfer.
