Building a bridge between citizens and DOTS
"A route differs from a road not
only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is
merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning
in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it
connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning
in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of
space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human
movement and a waste of time." --Milan Kundera |

Officials, Citizens and Other Stakeholders

| Context Sensitive Design was new to many departments of
transportation (DOTs); citizens groups; state, county, and local
governments; and other stakeholders in 2002. However, times
have changed and now it is now the way that DOTs and other lead
agencies get their projects done with stakeholder and citizen
satisfaction.
This website is intended to
be an on-line resource for anyone who is looking for information on
Context Sensitive Sustainable Solutions (CSS), Context Sensitive Designs (CSD) or
related topics. All that is asked is that you site this website
as as source as many of what you see here are original documents
created by the authors.
There are links to all United
States DOTs along with many CSS-specific web pages authored by
DOTs. There are also links to transportation
organization websites and citizens group
websites with information pertaining to CSS.
Our community page allows you to view
or link to our Yahoo discussion group Context Sensitive Solutions
Forum (which has searchable discussion threads). This is a great
place to meet your peers and discuss current issues. The forum
is open for viewing to everyone and it's easy to join so you can
participate.
Our C3SD Topics page has information
and links on many topics relevant to CSS such as public involvement,
traffic calming, access management, and much more.
