As the world continues to address the growing challenges of climate change, reducing carbon emissions in road maintenance has become a critical priority for local and national highway authorities.

Most local authorities have now declared a climate emergency, and the Department for Transport is now asking authorities to demonstrate how they are proposing to decarbonise their highway maintenance activities, linked to their Incentivised Funding.

Join the RSTA for this ‘Greener Roads Ahead’ decarbonisation technical training day, to see how you can significantly reduce your carbon emissions and improve your financial and practical efficiencies.

The Road Surface Treatments Association is providing this training free of charge to all local and national roads authority delegates. Refreshments and lunch are also included.

Please note that this event is in person attendance only, and there is no virtual option.
