| Abstract | The Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) sponsors a Technical Assistance (TA) effort to support states in applying Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) to challenges they face in the transportation sector. Each state participating in the TA effort is invited to identify one issue to tackle using a CSS approach, with FHWA assistance. Participating states can also join a virtual peer exchange for sharing information and lessons learned. Each state and state agency faces unique issues, but the results and key findings of these CSS efforts can offer valuable insight to other states. The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and FHWA North Dakota Division elected to develop a case study featuring a project that incorporated CSS principles as their form of TA. The NDDOT and FHWA selected the U.S. Highway 85 Watford City Bypass project as the project featured in the case study. The case study was developed by conducting interviews with NDDOT staff and other relevant stakeholders impacted by the project, as well as conducting a site visit of the project. The site visit and interviews took place on April 4 – 6, 2017 in Bismarck and Watford City. This report documents the background, purpose, and objectives of the case study. It also highlights the key themes that emerged from the interviews, provides the list of interviewees and schedule of interviews, lists key takeaways from each interview, and includes the interview guide that was developed prior to the site visit. A link to the case study is included as an appendix to the report. |
