California Pavement Preservation Center at Cal Poly Pomona


On February 18, 2009; Deans of the Colleges of Engineering at Cal Poly Pomona, CSU Chico and CSU Long Beach signed a Memorandum of Understanding that outlines plans for collaboration between the three Universities through participation in the California Pavement Preservation Center (CP2C). The Center was established initially at CSU Chico and is funded primarily by Caltrans. The Cal Poly Pomona Office will offer technical assistance, training and research in pavement preservation to public agencies and contractors in Southern California.
