Hi TRB Health and Transportation Subcommittee Friends,
I invite you to visit the Prevention Forum<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=1rKrxRKJXERFPbNXXcFwV…>, in which Prevention Institute's Larry Cohen discusses the strength and opportunities presented by the landmark National Prevention Strategy, released last week. The recent release of the NPS is historic, says Cohen: "For the first time the nation has delineated a broad, coherent approach to prevention, and made it clear that prevention is critical for improving our health." The NPS was shaped by seventeen different agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Trade commission and the Department of Agriculture. Virtually every department in government is working together to focus on how to achieve health and wellbeing for the people in every US community.

Description:
Healthy communities provide tremendous benefits by promoting physical
activity in placing homes near community amenities to create walkable
neighborhoods, helping restore, invigorate and sustain livable
development patterns. Health Impact Assessments are a practical tool
that can provide a structured process to determine a policy or project's
impact on health, and ensure that policy and project dollars are used
efficiently to provide the greatest benefits to residents. This session
will feature a discussion of Health Impact Assessments, and a
presentation by a city official who used the assessments for their
transportation plan. It will also include a detailed overview of the
Healthy Development Measurement Tool
