The Asphalt Institute is a U.S.-based association of international petroleum asphalt producers, manufacturers, and affiliated businesses. Headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, the organization was founded in 1919. It operates within the construction industry, providing technical guidance, publications, and industry standards to support asphalt pavement practice for its members. Its members include industry producers and related entities, and its work targets transportation agencies, contractors, and other stakeholders involved in pavement design and construction. The Institute develops and disseminates handbooks and manuals, often in collaboration with government agencies and industry groups such as the Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Asphalt Pavement Alliance, and the National Asphalt Pavement Association. A recent development is a jointly produced handbook covering roadway and airfield paving guidance, announced in June 2026.
