Multi-Disciplinary Teams in Context-Sensitive Solutions. A Syntheisis of Highway Practice

摘要

Context-sensitive solution (CSS) has become a commonly used term to describe processes and outcomes that embrace holistic approaches to transportation decision making by meeting transportation needs in a way that is compatible with the human and natural environment as well as adding lasting value to communities. The CSS philosophy embraces an inclusive and collaborative decision-making approach by bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders with varying interests and needs to collectively develop a solution to a transportation need. Consequently, multiple disciplines working together as a team have been recognized by transportation professionals as a fundamental process element to achieve a solution that is context-sensitive.
