[H+T--Friends] Economic Benefits of Bicycling in Michigan RFP

by Eloisa Raynault

Please pass on to anyone who might be interested. A scope of services was just posted on the MDOT website for a study on the Economic Impacts of Bicycling in Michigan. The closing date is December 10. http://www.michigan.gov/documents/mdot/MDOT_RFP_SS_REQ1080_posted_404288 _7.pdf The Michigan Department of Transportation has determined that a report is necessary which quantifies the economic impacts and health benefits of bicycling on Michigan's economy. The bicycle is used for transportation, exercise, and recreation by people across the state regardless of age and socio-economic status. All across the state from Marquette in the Upper Peninsula to downtown Detroit to the small southwestern Michigan town of South Haven, residents of these communities use the bicycle for transportation purposes, while visitors travel to these communities to bicycle. It is also known that people travel to Michigan with their bicycle from other states and use for both recreation and transportation. Whether it is bicycle lanes in urban areas, paved shoulders in rural areas, a rail-trail connecting communities, the presence of a U.S. Bicycle Route, or an ice cream or bicycle shop; the relative benefits and availability of bicycle facilities and services can influence bicycling in a community. MDOT seeks to develop a report which summarizes a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative assessment of economic and community benefits attributed to the provision of bicycle facilities and services. These benefits can include employment, attraction of new business, increases in existing business activity, increases in property values, visitor spending, education, tourism, congestion mitigation, safety, environmental benefits, capital projects, etc..

Although this is an important area of research, most of the work focuses on one type of mobility at a time, e.g., walking or driving or the use of passenger transport. This presentation outlines an integrated mobility agenda, which is based on the lived experiences of older adults, and examines the health effects of combinations of different modes of mobility as part of everyday life, e.g., walking and driving. The research and practice implications of this integrated approach are addressed. *Dr. Satariano is Professor of Epidemiology and Community Health. His areas of interest include aging and mobility, cancer survival, and the effects of environmental design on health and well-being in older populations.* 2nd Floor conference room at SafeTREC, 2614 Dwight Way #7374, Berkeley, CA 94720-7374<http://safetrec.berkeley.edu/contact/maps.html?addr=2614+dwight+way&csz=ber…> (map) Register here to attend the meeting remotely<https://cc.readytalk.com/r/qe12gouxfryc>.

HSIP was created under the 2005 transportation authorization law, the Safe Accountable Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEALU), as one of the core Federal-Aid funding sources. HSIP provides funding for safety projects aimed at reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Although pedestrian safety projects are eligible for HSIP funding, it has sometimes been difficult for states and localities to justify spending HSIP funds on projects that will improve safety for these users because the related crashes are so infrequent—California's program is dedicated solely to pedestrians....

The HIA of the Americas workshop is intended for current practitioners of Health Impact Assessment who are involved or interested in strategic HIA field-building. Workshop participants should have direct experience in conducting health impact assessments, or currently be involved in conducting their first HIA. While registration will be open to an international audience, the content will be focused on HIA practice in the Americas.

[H+T--Friends] Pandemic Transportation Planning Survey

by Sahu, Illika

Hello all TRB health and Transportation Subcommittee Friends, The National Cooperative Highway Research Program is sponsoring development of a Guide for Public Transportation Pandemic Planning and Response, with small and rural transit agencies as the primary target audience. The project team is conducting a survey of transit agencies, state DOTs, emergency managers and public health officers to identify and distill best practices. The survey is also intended to identify potential candidates for follow-on interviews. We believe that you are a key part of our target audience for the survey. Are you interested in Pandemic Planning (especially for small & rural transit agencies)? Do you have best practices, lessons or contacts to share? If so please take the short survey<http://pandemictransportation.wordpress.com/2012/10/23/wanted-pandemic-tran…> (no more than 15minutes) & check out the blog 'Planning Transportation for Pandemic Flu<http://pandemictransportation.wordpress.com/2012/10/23/wanted-pandemic-tran…>'. There you can also discover the great resources and links that we have already aggregated through the research for this project. For example, the site has best practice pandemic plans listed by state, along with descriptions of those plans and hyperlinks to the documents. It also has a list of state transportation and public health organizations' social media accounts and much more. The survey is scheduled to close November 30, 2012, so please check it out, post it and/or forward it right away. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your participation!
