Outline of project:
The Ray C. Anderson Foundation have enrolled the help of a variety of partners to transform a stretch of Interstate 85, that's primary role is connecting the States of Georgia and Alabama, into one of America’s most high-tech and sustainable roads - 'The Ray'.

The project aims to integrate a mixture of high and low tech solutions that could make roads in America, smarter, greener and safer. The project team are aiming for The Ray to be the first zero carbon, zero deaths, zero waste and zero impact road in the world. Some of the proposed technologies to be demonstrated along The Ray include solar powered vehicle charging points, climate modelling sensors, tyre pressure monitoring sensors, bioswales, solar-paving, solar barriers, solar signage and a pollinator garden.
