A new report from the National Association of Regional Councils (NARC)
might be of interest to you and your networks:
NARC Report Released, Integrating Public Health and Transportation
Planning: Perspectives for MPOs and COGs:
NARC recently released a summary report of efforts made by metropolitan
planning organizations (MPOs) to integrate public health factors and
considerations into their transportation plans. Additionally, the report
offers options through which an MPO can work with its Council of
Government (COG) to integrate non-transportation planning activities
into the transportation and public health discussion.

Greetings TRB Subcommittee Friends,
As you may know, the TRB health and transportation subcommittee
developed a newsletter a few months ago as a way to stay up to date:
http://www.trbhealth.org/newsletter
We're now looking for content for the late summer/early fall edition.
Send any pertinent updates from your organization or beyond (e.g., new
reports, new research, upcoming conferences or events) for consideration
via email by July 20 to me (eloisa.raynault(a)apha.org).
If you would like to help develop the newsletter, we'd welcome your
assistance; please send me an email (eloisa.raynault(a)apha.org).
Thank you,
Eloisa
