As a subcommittee of ABJ30 the subcommittee on Health and Transportation is happy to announce that we have two calls for research on the street relative to the 2014 Annual Meeting. In addition we will be having our midyear meeting July 22nd at the Keck Center of the National Academies (500 Fifth Street, NW) from 3:30 to 5:30 pm. Below is the announcement of the two two calls for research. Feel free to distribute to anyone who you think might be interested. ----------------- In preparation for the the annual meeting of the Transportation Research Board, the Subcommittee on Health and Transportation has issued two separate calls for research. The first is a Call for Papers due August 1, 2013. The Call for Papers is attached and is posted on the TRB website. It can also be found here. https://sites.google.com/site/trbhealthandtransport/trb-meetings/trb-2014/c…. For the paper call we are looking for research papers using transportation and travel analysis/models in coordination with public health analysis/models to understand how transportation and land use systems affect public health outcomes. The second call is for Posters only. The Call for Posters is also attached and can found at https://sites.google.com/site/trbhealthandtransport/trb-meetings/trb-2014/c… For the poster call we are looking for posters on the creative use of data in transportation and public health planning (with an emphasis on creative). The deadline for submission for this one is September 1, 2013. For more information about either of these two calls refer to the materials posted on the subcommittee's website at http://www.trbhealth.org/ -- Ed Christopher Subcommmittee Co-chair

Revised Agenda and Meeting Plan

by Lawson, Catherine T

ABJ30 Members and Friends, Below is the revised agenda for our Summer Mid-year meeting in WDC - we will have a special guest speaker: Burton H. Reist, Chief 2020 Research and Planning Office - he will be informing us on current plans for the 2020 Census - it should be a very informative talk. We will also be discussing MAP-21 impacts, the emerging transportation and the extreme weather situation, and what data decision-makers need. We plan to use gotomeeting and will have a phone number for members and friends to call in. Looking forward to seeing all of you in WDC at our meeting - or hearing from you on the phone!
