slide-17
SLIDE 17

An approach that:

  • Involves stakeholders early and
  • ften in development of a

solution

  • Focuses on developing and

building projects that reflect their surroundings or “context”

  • Focuses both on outcome (design)

and process

  • Considers various disciplines from

the beginning of the project through construction Features:

  • Frequent and meaningful

communication

  • Outreach guided by Stakeholder

Involvement Plan

  • Goal of developing cost effective

transportation facilities that preserve and enhance community features

What is Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS)?

slide-18
SLIDE 18
  • Blueprint for defining outreach tools and

methods

  • Framework for collecting stakeholder

input

  • Identifies roles and responsibilities of

participants
