About Us
Our Mission
The Utah Asphalt Pavement (UAPA) is committed to being the unified voice of the asphalt industry and promoting the quality and use of asphalt pavements in Utah.
UAPA is the only trade association that exclusively represents the interests of the asphalt pavement material producer and paving contractor on a local level with government agencies and other trade and business organizations.
We support an active communication platform designed to answer questions about environmental issues and to improve the quality of asphalt pavements and paving techniques used in the construction of roads, streets, highways, parking lots, airports, and environmental and recreational facilities. We provide technical, educational, and marketing materials and information to our members, as well as technical information to users and specifiers of paving materials.
Our local chapter was organized in 2012, and our members include asphalt pavement producers, paving contractors, equipment manufacturers, materials suppliers, equipment distributors, engineering firms and consultants. Our members are the people who build Utah’s roads.
Antitrust Statement
All meetings of the Association shall be in full compliance with the letter and spirit of all antitrust laws. If at any time during the course of a meeting, anyone believes that a sensitive topic under antitrust laws is being discussed, or is about to be discussed, they will so advise those present and halt from further discussions. All such discussions should be avoided at all times before during and after any meeting of the Association.
The Association adopts the following antitrust statement:
The Utah Asphalt Pavement Association (UAPA) is organized to promote, develop, and maintain the advancement of the asphalt pavement industry. UAPA is not intended to and may not play any role in the competitive decisions of its members, or their employees, or in any way restrict competition in any aspect of the asphalt pavement industry.
UAPA, through this statement of policy, makes clear its unequivocal support for the policy of competition served by the antitrust laws and the Association’s uncompromising intent to comply strictly in all respects with those laws. It is the individual responsibility of every member of UAPA to be guided by the antitrust laws. It shall be the special responsibility of any member, committee chairperson, and UAPA officers to assure that this policy is known and adhered to in the course of activities pursued under their leadership.
It is not UAPA’s role to act as arbiter or judge of the competitive conduct of its members. As such, this statement of antitrust policy is not a mechanism through which a member should charge another member with an alleged illegal action.
