TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 159: Pavement Maintenance Guidelines for General Aviation Airport Management provides guidance to general aviation airport managers in determining the most cost-efficient and appropriate preventative maintenance solution to common pavement issues. In addition to the guidebook, two additional products were developed.

The Airport Pavement Maintenance Recommendation Tool is an interactive tool that will assist the user in identifying pavement issues. The Field Guide for the Airport Pavement Maintenance Recommendation Tool is intended to assist in identifying the specific pavement issues while in the field.
