MoDOT does not have an official CSS program; our designers are instructed through our department's Project Development Manual to use good engineering judgment, involve the public as often as possible; and request design exceptions when necessary. MoDOT will be instituting an official CSS program through guidance and training over the next two years.

Other Public Involvement Techniques:
We believe our project designers do an above average job of identifying the environmental and cultural resource constraints of a project and tailor the design as much as possible to address the concerns of the affected community.
