What FP2 Inc. does

FP2 Inc. is a 501(c)6 non-profit trade association founded in 1992 and headquartered in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, dedicated to promoting pavement preservation and recycling practices across U.S. road agencies. The organization was originally established as the Foundation for Pavement Rehabilitation and Maintenance Research (FPRMR) by three charter associations — the Asphalt Emulsion Manufacturers Association (AEMA), Asphalt Recycling & Reclaiming Association (ARRA), and International Slurry Surfacing Association (ISSA) — and was reincorporated as FP2 Inc. under a 501(c)6 trade-association structure in 2009 to focus on advocacy. Its core technical remit covers non-structural preventive maintenance treatments including slurry surfacings, crack sealing, chip sealing, micro surfacing, rejuvenation, hot and cold in-place recycling, thin-lift hot-mix asphalt paving, and concrete pavement restoration techniques.

FP2's product portfolio is editorial and educational rather than commercial software. Flagship assets include the Pavement Preservation Journal (a quarterly trade magazine launched in 2007 and the only U.S. publication exclusively dedicated to pavement preservation), the online Preservation Toolbox covering more than 20 treatment modalities, advocacy toolkits for engaging elected officials, and two industry recognition programs (the James B. Sorenson Award for Excellence in Pavement Preservation and the FP2 Hall of Fame). The association also co-funds and underwrites physical research through the National Center for Pavement Preservation (NCPP) at Michigan State University (since 2003, ~$50K/year), the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) preservation group experiment (since 2012), and Minnesota DOT's MnROAD test track (since 2015) — together covering warm- and cold-climate performance validation.

Revenue is generated primarily through corporate sponsorships from ~14 contractors, material suppliers, and equipment manufacturers (e.g., All States Materials Group, Asphalt Materials Inc., BASF, Bergkamp, COLAS USA, Crafco, Ergon Asphalt, Ingevity, Vance Brothers, VSS International), contributions from its founding and sponsoring associations, and advertising in the Pavement Preservation Journal (subscriptions are free). FP2 is governed by a rotating board of directors (current president Dave Henderson, 2025-2027) and administered by CM Services, Inc., whose president Rick Church also serves as FP2 Executive Director. The organization's most consequential strategic role is regulatory: it was directly instrumental in securing pavement preservation's eligibility for federal funding in MAP-21 (2012), the FAST Act (2015), and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (2021), giving the association a structural role in the U.S. road-maintenance funding landscape.

Direct peers

• National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA): National trade association representing the asphalt pavement industry, including producers, contractors, and equipment manufacturers. Most directly comparable to FP2 as both serve as advocacy and education platforms for pavement stakeholders, with overlapping corporate sponsors (Asphalt Institute, COLAS USA).
• Asphalt Emulsion Manufacturers Association (AEMA): Trade association of asphalt emulsion manufacturers and suppliers. A charter founding association of FP2 in 1992 and shares executive leadership with FP2 (Rick Church serves both as ED), making it a structurally tight peer with overlapping membership and overlapping advocacy priorities.
• Asphalt Recycling & Reclaiming Association (ARRA): Trade association promoting asphalt recycling and reclaiming techniques. A charter founding association of FP2 in 1992 with shared executive leadership (Rick Church is ED of both), making ARRA one of the most directly comparable peers in mission, structure, and audience.
• The Asphalt Institute: International trade association focused on asphalt technology, research, and education. Directly comparable to FP2 as a sister organization promoting best practices and providing technical/educational resources to the asphalt industry, and is itself an FP2 sponsoring association.
• American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA): National trade association for the concrete pavement industry. Directly comparable as a peer trade association advocating for pavement construction and preservation, addressing the concrete counterpart of the asphalt/preservation space FP2 covers.
• International Slurry Surfacing Association (ISSA): International trade association for slurry surfacing, micro surfacing, and chip seal contractors and suppliers. A charter founding association of FP2 and shares executive leadership, making ISSA one of the closest structural peers in terms of mission, membership base, and governance.

Others

• American Public Works Association (APWA): Professional association for public works professionals, including municipal and county infrastructure staff. Adjacent peer whose membership overlaps with FP2's target audience of municipal/county road managers but whose scope is much broader than pavement preservation.

Broad incumbents

• Transportation Research Board (TRB): Program unit of the National Academies that convenes transportation research. Comparable as a larger, broader transportation research and policy organization whose work intersects with FP2's preservation research priorities (e.g., MnROAD/NCAT findings).
• American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO): Standards-setting body for state DOTs and a key advocacy organization in U.S. surface transportation. Comparable as a large, established transportation advocacy/standards body that FP2 works alongside on preservation policy at the state and federal level.

Emerging players

• National Center for Pavement Preservation (NCPP): Research and training center at Michigan State University focused on pavement preservation education. Closely tied to FP2 (FP2 launched NCPP and underwrites it at $50K/year), and serves a complementary role of research/training versus FP2's advocacy mission.
