Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS)

An important part of the Interstate 64 Study is public participation.  IDOT utilizes Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) as a way to continually engage stakeholders in the study.  As identified in IDOT’s CSS policies, stakeholder involvement is critical to a study’s success. The CSS process strives to achieve the following:

  • Understand stakeholder’s key issues and concerns
  • Involve stakeholders in the decision-making process early and often
  • Establish an understanding of the stakeholder’s role in the study
  • Consider all modes of transportation
  • Set a project schedule
  • Apply flexibility in design to address stakeholder’s concerns whenever possible
