FAST FACTS ABOUT RUBBER MODIFIED ASPHALT (RMA) Logo Description automatically generated
WHAT IS RMA? Rubber modified asphalt (RMA) is a mixture of recycled ground tire rubber and asphalt. RMA is a promising end-of-life market for the 270 million recycled tires generated annually in the U.S., as each lane mile paved with RMA uses up to 2,000 recycled tires.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF RMA? RMA provides proven economic, performance and environmental benefits, compared to traditional asphalt, in building better, longer lasting roads and highways. Longer Service Life Better Ride Quality Reduced Tire Wear Increased Safety Reduced Emissions Source: Summary of State Specifications for Rubber Modified Asphalt
PERFORMANCE & SAVINGS RMA is very resistant to cracking in both high-traffic and low-temperature situations. Fewer roadway cracks reduce the need for maintenance, providing localities with a significant cost savings.

RIDE QUALITY & SAFETY RMA has been shown to create smoother pavements and thus better ride quality for motorists. In wet conditions, using RMA provides better pavement skid-resistance and reduces road spray, which increases road safety. Source: Summary of State Specifications for Rubber Modified Asphalt
RMA: A SMART CHOICE FOR ROADS Cost Savings: Longer-Lasting Roads: Fewer cracks and repairs mean lower maintenance costs for cities and taxpayers. RMA is more resistant to wear and tear, making roads more durable. Smoother pavement improves ride quality and reduces vehicle wear. RMA provides better skid resistance and reduced road spray in wet conditions. Reduced Vehicle Wear: Increased Safety: Supports Circular Economy: RMA utilizes recycled tires, contributing to the circular economy.
