Post-workshop note: Thank you to all the presenters, attendees, and organizers of this very successful workshop. We welcomed over 325 participants from Washington state, British Columbia, Oregon, Idaho, and other parts of the country.

  • Learn about practical, context-based solutions for challenging transportation projects.
  • Gain an understanding of "context sensitive design."
  • Hear case studies from Europe, the U.S., Canada, and the Pacific Northwest.
  • Hear from representatives from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO).

Transportation planners, designers, operational staff, and others involved in project development are invited to attend the upcoming regional workshop, Safety, Aesthetics, and Community Partnerships: Context-Sensitive Solutions, on April 30 and May 1, 2002 in Seattle. The workshop will feature European and context sensitive design pilot state transportation professionals who have integrated context-sensitive solutions into their transportation systems.

The goal of the workshop is to share flexible design concepts and case studies with transportation professionals and assist in developing a foundation for implementing community-based design.

Program and scheduled speakers

OVERVIEW

The Washington State Department of Transportation, in conjunction with regional transportation agencies, including the Oregon Department of Transportation and the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation, is hosting this regional workshop. Learn how others around the region, nation, and internationally are balancing safety, mobility, aesthetics, economics and community values into projects that are civic legacies or successfully serve multiple purposes. Find out how pilot states have paved the way in building community partnership projects, and hear what FHWA and AASHTO roles are in implementing this post-interstate building era philosophy.

Planning processes and community involvement, design features, operational features and case studies will be integrated into the following application tracks:
