Although the Hawaii DOT does not have a formal CSS program, we incorporate many elements of CSS in our project development process. We are currently developing CSS guidelines for the Highways Division in order to institutionalize context and stakeholder/public input in project development. CSS legislation was passed in June 2005 that directs the Department of Transportation to establish new guidelines that take into account the need for flexibility in highway design and limit liability of State and counties in the application of flexible highway design standards. In addition, CSS training was held for DOT staff in 2007 and additional training is being planned.
