Hi everyone,
Several new resources and links to reports have been posted on our

I am posting this on behalf of Phylis Orrick. We have been having some
trouble with posts to the list that have graphics attached. The posts
are not coming through for those receiving the listserve digest nor are
they being placed in the archive. I apologize to those who have seen
this before.

Now online: Transportation and Health Connection Report
SafeTREC, in partnership with Partnership for Prevention, Booz Allen
Hamilton, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has
released a new report, Transportation and Health: Policy Interventions
for Safer, Healthier People and Communities
http://www.prevent.org/Additional-Pages/Transportation-and-Health.aspx
It examines transportation policies in three critical areas: the
environment and environmental health, community design and active
transportation, and motor vehicle-related injuries and fatalities.
Policymakers at all levels can use this report to inform decision-making
regarding transportation.

Hi everyone -
I'm sorry I missed the inaugural meeting on July 11. I've just read through the minutes. It sounds like you had a great first meeting and have a great group of people to work on the variety of issues at hand.
I was wondering if any of you could help me with a reference or two. I am writing a policy brief for the J of the American Geriatrics Society describing built environment and mobility for older adults policy issues. I wrote that city and transportation planners are aware of the aging of the US population. My co-author suggested that this may not be the case. I did some web searching and found one report commission for the Texas state department of transportation. I found a document for the American Society of Planning Officials from 1961! It might be that it's planners in certain cities. But it seems appropriate to acknowledge their awareness. For a journal, though, I have to use report or article references.
thanks in advance!

Hi,
Eloisa suggested that I invite the subcommittee members to join the
listserve of the National Consortium on the Coordination of Human Services
Transportation<http://web1.ctaa.org/webmodules/webarticles/anmviewer.asp?a=70&z=78>.
We deal with community transportation, including access to medical care, and
transit. Our members include a broad range of organizations from the worlds
of planning, health, transit, aging and people with disabilities.
The listserve <http://groups.google.com/group/coordination-consortium?hl=en>is
used to announce Consortium colloquia and to notify members that there
is
a new blog post for the group. The messages are few.
The blog is the Express Stop <http://express-stop.blogspot.com/>.
Topics covered in the colloquia and the blog are transit, reauthorization,
livability, modes other than SOV, funding, emergency preparedness,
non-emergency medical transportation, and once in a while legislative
positions of national organizations etc.
Have a great weekend,
Sheryl

Health*
*New report released today by Partnership for Prevention.*
A report titled *Transportation and Health: Policy Interventions for Safer,
Healthier People and Communities* was released today by Partnership for
Prevention (Partnership). This report highlights existing scientific
evidence on the health effects of nearly 40 transportation policies that can
further multiple health and transportation goals.
Partnership collaborated with the Safe Transportation Research and Education

Hamilton; and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The report examines the effects of transportation policies on health in
three key areas – environment and environmental public health, community
design and active transportation, and motor vehicle-related injuries and
fatalities.
The Report is available on the Partnership for Prevention web site at: *
