The project is designed and built with minimal disruption to the community.The project involves efficient and effective use of the resources (time, budget, community) of all involved parties.The project exceeds the expectations of both designers and stakeholders and achieves a level of excellence in people's minds.The project is in harmony with the community, and it preserves environmental, scenic, aesthetic, historic, and natural resource values of the area, i.e., exhibits context sensitive design.The project is a safe facility for both the user and the community.This agreement is forged in the earliest phase of the project and amended as warranted as the project develops.

The project satisfies the purpose and needs as agreed to by a full range of stakeholders.The "Qualities that Characterize Excellence in Transportation Design" – that is, of the physical end product of the CSS process – are: The CSS Product: Qualities of Excellence in Transportation Design The following list of qualities (developed at a 1998 conference for transportation planners called "Thinking Beyond the Pavement" ) describe the core goals of the CSS process. Rather than approaching these stakeholders at the tail end of the design process in an attempt to gain approval, CSS emphasizes the need to incorporate their feedback from the very outset of the planning and design development processes and during all subsequent stages of construction, operations and maintenance. CSS is a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach that involves everyone with a significant stake in the project, such as the residents, businesses and local institutions that will be affected by an intervention or a failure to address the transportation implications of development such as congestion. When CSS principles are applied to transportation projects, the process involves a much broader range of disciplines than traditional transportation design methods, which rely exclusively on the judgment of traffic engineers. CSS therefore includes principles for context-sensitive decision-making that place a high value on community input and consensus, and more technical principles of context sensitive design. For instance, if a state highway that passes through a downtown main street, applying CSS principles would entail creating a street where the movement of vehicles does not impede pedestrian activity and sidewalk commerce, rather than a street that is simply widened and straightened to increase speed, capacity and mobility for vehicles as a singular transportation objective. In contrast to long-standing practices in transportation design that place primary importance on moving traffic ( vehicular throughput), the CSS process emphasizes that transportation facilities should fit their physical settings and preserve scenic, aesthetic, historic and environmental resources, while maintaining safety and mobility. Here, the ammonite design of the lamp standards reflects the local geology of Lyme Regis. Custom-designed fittings are one aspect of CSS.
