Integrating Context Sensitive Solutions in Transportation Planning

Appendix B - CSS and Planning MPO Questionnaire Web-based Survey

Introduction

The Center for Transportation and the Environment at North Carolina State University is conducting a FHWA sponsored research project to determine best practices in the integration of Context Sensitive Solution (CSS) practices in the transportation planning process.
