"As we strive to improve the quality of transportation decision making by promoting strategies that establish a better link between transportation planning and environmental review processes at the systems planning level as well as the project level, one of the key strategies is the CSS approach to project development. One of the Vital Few strategies is for FHWA to provide guidance, information, and training to States on 'integrating the planning and environmental processes' and encouraging context-sensitive solutions/context-sensitive design (CSS/CSD)."
