This publication describes a holistic corridor management approach that is transforming the transportation planning process into one that respects and enhances our natural and human environments by considering multiples modes of transportation, adjacent land uses and the connecting street network. This approach allows transportation professionals to seek solutions that are sensitive to community, environmental, land use and financial contexts. When applied at the corridor level, CSS enables DOTs to view roads in their proper context. Some would remain important for high-speed, long-distance trips, but many other roads should be oriented towards local or residential traffic.
