Built in collaboration by Project for Public Spaces and Scenic America for the Federal Highway Administration, this online resource center is the world wide web's premiere source of information about context sensitive solutions.

This Resource Center contains built examples of CSS projects, case studies, cutting-edge research, information, and policy documents. It addresses a broad range of issues, including design standards, liability, stakeholder involvement and new techniques in transportation problem-solving. A variety of support tools are available to make the resources of the center easily accessible to our visitors including interactive and customized information; discussion forums of self-organized user groups to facilitate communication and collaboration; and an on-line newsletter that summarizes new developments in CSS policy, training and practice.

While this site seeks to be a resource for state and local transportation agencies and practitioners, community stakeholders (elected officials, regional and local agencies, key NGO partners, citizens, business and property owners) will find useful information here as well. Our goal is to promote communication, information sharing, and participation by all the stakeholders in transportation projects.
