16. Abstract

The Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) sponsors a Technical Assistance (TA) effort to support states in applying Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) to challenges they face in the transportation sector. Each state participating in the TA effort is invited to identify one issue to tackle using a CSS approach, with FHWA assistance. Participating states can also join a virtual peer exchange for sharing information and lessons learned. Each state and state agency faces unique issues, but the results and key findings of these CSS efforts can offer valuable insight to other states.

FDOT requested the CSS TA to convene a discussion among FDOT District senior staff and develop an action plan that will provide them with the steps necessary to implement the Complete Streets Handbook with their Districts. The delivery of the TA was in the form of a four-hour meeting attended by FDOT District senior staff. The report documents the background, purpose, and key takeaways from the meeting. The report also provides a detailed summary of the meeting, including key points from presentations and the challenges and solutions the meeting attendees identified regarding Complete Streets implementation in Florida.
