• Abstract:
  A key to the successful implementation of Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) for Illinois transportation projects is the ; active and informed participation of Illinois Department of Transportation’s (IDOT) stakeholders. Essential to this ; participation is a public understanding of CSS and the procedures through which CSS is being implemented by IDOT. ; The objective of this research was to develop an internet-based tutorial training course to provide information on CSS ; policies and procedures to affected citizens, elected officials, local agencies, interest groups, and other stakeholders of the ; IDOT. This course will enable these stakeholders to understand CSS and how to participate in the process ; The study investigated possible approaches to the presentation of training materials in an online environment. The ; study also collected information on CSS web-based training in other states as well as the latest developments on CSS in ; Illinois. The study team and the Technical Review Panel jointly developed course content requirements and selected ; delivery mechanisms. ; Using this information, an online training course was developed incorporating streaming audio/visual training module ; presentations. These presentations included an audio narrative, with corresponding visual presentation, and selected video ; interview segments. The use of streaming audio and video provides a more personalized presence to stakeholders and ; promotes understandability. The modules can also be used at public meetings as a slide presentation and as content for ; information pamphlets. ; The major benefit of this online CSS training course is to provide knowledge of IDOT’s CSS process to a wide variety of ; statewide stakeholders. Once developed for delivery over the Internet, the cost to the state of providing this training is ; minimal. Once trained, these stakeholders will be able to participate more effectively in the transportation project decision ; making process. IDOT will be able to obtain input from a wider variety of stakeholders for more efficient implementation of ; CSS.
