Since 2005 MDOT has pursued CSS as a core value of its business practices and continues to implement CSS in its program development.The MDOT website contains examples of our projects to date and additional contact information and resources on CSS and associated department programs which implement CSS principles.
The CSS program was enacted through an Executive Directive. The Michigan CSS policy was officially adopted by the state Transportation Commission in 2005.
Other Public Involvement Techniques:
MDOT staff, as part of our rolling 5 Year Plan development, engages the local communities to discuss future projects and obtain stakeholder input to arrive at the "best fit" for transportation facilities, while addressing community needs and concerns. MDOT has a decentralized structure which facilitates significant public involvement as our offices are located throughout the state and are connected to the local communities.
CSS Training:
MDOT has implemented a training program since 2006. As of 2008, over 900 MDOT staff and 60 consultants have been trained.
