Register online for Context Sensitive Design Workshop
The agenda for the Midwest Region 2005 Context Sensitive Design & Solutions Workshop, August 24–26 in Minneapolis, is now online.
Titled "Overcoming Roadblocks to Project Excellence," the workshop will address tough questions and challenges from around the country as well as lessons learned and innovations being pursued to further excellence in transportation project development using CSD&S philosophy and principles.
The program is structured around three major topics: Education and Outreach, Practice, and Acceptance. The Education and Outreach track focuses on lessons learned and future opportunities for training; the Practice track will use case study examples to address CSS principles; and the Acceptance track will address some of the issues that are seen as the most challenging to practitioners.
In addition to concurrent sessions, the conference will feature a panel discussion among current and former state DOT leaders on "Integrating CSS as an Underlying Principle of Excellence." A series of roundtable sessions are designed to facilitate discussion and problem-solving around a series of CSS topics. The results of these discussions will be reported out to all participants at the end of the conference.
The fee for the three-day event is just $150. Get more information and register on the Context-Sensitive Design page.
The workshop, sponsored by Mn/DOT and the Federal Highway Administration, will be hosted by CTS.
