Context Sensitive Solutions
Tennessee Department of Transportation
2-Day Basic Training on
Context Sensitive Solutions
This
course on Context Sensitive Solutions was developed by an
interdisciplinary team of TDOT professionals. Because many
comparable CSS courses were consulted in the development of the
material, this course offers you the “best of the best” with a
Tennessee perspective. It not only offers an understanding of the
principles and concepts of CSS, but also how it fits within the project
development process at TDOT.
The following six modules make up the course content:
- Introduction to CSS
- Defining Context, Understanding a Place and Identifying Problems
- Respectful Communications, Consensus Building and Public Involvement
- CSS Decision-making and the Project Delivery Process
- Design Flexibility
- Putting It All Together
Learning within this course is facilitated through lecture, examples, case studies and other interactive opportunities. However, the greatest benefit comes through the interactive discussion between the interdisciplinary participants within TDOT and with external partners.
