The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) is conducting a Synthesis Project on Best Management Practices (BMPs) for environmental issues related to road and street maintenance. This paper presents preliminary results of the survey conducted as part of this synthesis project. The paper summarizes the survey responses according to the different categories in which best practices were reported: 1) category of maintenance activity; 2) environmental category; and 3) type of management practice. Respondents also indicated the factors that contribute to an environmentally sensitive maintenance program and what adjustments they make to comply with environmental laws and regulations. Also presented in this paper is a list of BMPs the respondents identified. Finally, some preliminary conclusions are drawn.
