A wealth of information is available both in the US and abroad regarding the use of recycled materials in highway construction, and several states have active recycling programs. New partnerships may help the private sector, universities, research institutions, government bodies, environmental groups, and the public to coordinate their efforts. A number of state DOTS have established recycling coordinator positions. These positions frequently figure prominently in technology transfer, research coordination, and informational outreach. The DOTS of California, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Texas all have active programs.
