WEBCAST: Context Sensitive Solutions

Event Date:
December 7, 2009 - December 7, 2009
Description:

Because of the high level of interest in the National Dialog Workshops, the second in the series of Context Sensitive Solutions National Dialog Workshops will be webcast live from Portland, Oregon.

Workshop presentations and discussions will be streamed via the internet for those unable to attend and participate in the dialog in person.

The workshop will include an up-to-date overview of Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) plus presentations on exemplary CSS projects, plans and programs from the surrounding region. The case studies were drawn from over 90 submissions from across the country, and were selected as examples of effective application of CSS principles to transportation projects, plans and programs.

Date: Monday, December 7, 2009
Time: 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM (Pacific Standard Time)
Location: Portland State University, Portland, OR

The workshop will provide transportation agency employees and managers, government decision makers, community groups and future transportation professionals the opportunity to learn more about CSS and how it can improve transportation processes and outcomes.

Webcast registration is now open!
