Dear Colleague,
We are happy to announce that registration is now open for the 11th Annual Active Living Research Conference. We hope that you plan to attend and kindly request that you share the announcement below with your subscribers, members, and/or other networks. We are aiming for record attendance this year and need your help to make it happen!
Thank you for your continued support,
Active Living Research
2014 Active Living Research Annual Conference
Join Active Living Research (ALR) in sunny San Diego at the Paradise Point Hotel, March 9 - 12, for the 2014 Annual Conference<http://activelivingresearch.org/annual-conference-2014>. The theme of the 2014 conference, Niche to Norm, recognizes the importance of advancing active living from an emerging research field with limited results and impact to well-accepted findings that regularly guide decision-making across sectors to create more active communities.
Fostering Collaboration between Research, Policy, and Practice
ALR aims to make its conference the premier venue for both cutting-edge research and for making findings accessible to and useable by non-scientists. Thus, the 2014 conference agenda will include both research and practice/policy presentations and ample opportunities for researchers and non-researchers to network.
Special Pre-Conference Symposium on Sunday, March 9th from 8:30 am - 1:30 pm
ALR is holding a special International Symposium<http://activelivingresearch.org/sunday-march-9-2014-international-symposium> to bring experts together to share lessons on international obesity prevention research on urban Latino populations in the US, Colombia, Mexico and Brazil. Attendance at the International Symposium is optional and the number of participants will be limited. Registration for the symposium is complimentary and available on a first come, first served basis.
Register<http://activelivingresearch.org/conference-registration> by January 6 to receive the early bird rate.

I forgot to add that the more people who leave their cars for other travel modes, the lower the emissions and the air pollution to which all travellers are exposed. Though I expect there would need to be extensive modal shift to get measurable effects on AQ or injury.
So when making the comparisons, you should consider not only the effect on the individuals but also the population level effects (and the effects on inequalities - 'disparities' or 'variations' if you can't use the I word) from modal shift. apart from physical activity, car drivers get the benefits and users of other modes get the 'side effects' of car use.

Thera,
(Note that each statement needs to have 'in general' added!)
Research in the UK showed that the highest levels of air pollution are in cars (which have their air intakes directly behind other vehicles' exhaust pipes), regardless of air conditioning or open windows, with public transit intermediate and cyclists and pedestrians exposed to lower levels as they're at the edge of the street which usually has lower levels than the centre of the street.
Secondly, most pedestrians and cyclists would prefer to use side roads where possible as it's quieter and there's less traffic, so the air quality is also better. Signposting 'walking routes' and 'cycling routes' can help people with this - as can slower speed limits on residential roads (eg 20mph / 30kph areas).
A few studies have been done, which have found the benefits of AT substantially outweigh the air pollution and injury risks. eg
* Rojas-Rueda D, de Nazelle A, Tanio M, Nieuwenhuijsen MJ (2011) The health risks and benefits of cycling in urban environments compared with car use: health assessment study. BMJ. 343: d4521.

Greetings, all - I'm reaching out to Health and Transportation listserv members in the hopes someone can point me in a productive direction.
I have a planning commission that is struggling with the public health benefits/impacts of compact, walkable urban development. On the one hand they understand and appreciate the active transportation benefits associated with this built form. On the other hand, the epidemiologist on the commission argues that the increased impacts of air pollution in an urban area more than offsets the benefits associated with active lifestyle and so is working to prohibit urbanization measures along our key transit corridors - density, mix of uses, transit oriented development.
I can find reams of articles on the benefits of active transport. And I can find scholarly articles about transportation-related air quality impacts on public health. What I cannot find is anything that brings the two together in a way that sheds light about these considerations in combination - air quality impacts trumping active transport benefits (or vice versa). This is further complicated by the studies she is referencing which were done in major metropolitan areas. We are a small, low-density metro area with a population of about 175,000 between three cities. Our principal arterials carry anywhere from 10,000 - 18,000 vehicles per day. We have very little "urban" land use form and are trying to more effectively stimulate that kind of private sector investment along our premier transit corridors where we have the beginnings of walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods taking shape.
Are you aware of any research that has looked at the trade-offs between active transport and air quality impacts that might be useful in this regard?
Any insights are appreciated - thank you!

Would the report "Health Co-Benefits and Transportation-Related Reductions in Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Bay Area" answer the questions?
Full detailed report at: http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/CCDPHP/Documents/ITHIM_Technical_Report11-2…
Peer-reviewed manuscript at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3673232/
Abstract
Objectives. We quantified health benefits of transportation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE).
Methods. Statistics on travel patterns and injuries, physical activity, fine particulate matter, and GHGE in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, were input to a model that calculated the health impacts of walking and bicycling short distances usually traveled by car or driving low-emission automobiles. We measured the change in disease burden in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) based on dose-response relationships and the distributions of physical activity, particulate matter, and traffic injuries.
Results: Increasing median daily walking and bicycling from 4 to 22 minutes reduced the burden of cardiovascular disease and diabetes by 14% (32 466 DALYs), increased the traffic injury burden by 39% (5907 DALYS), and decreased GHGE by 14%. Low-carbon driving reduced GHGE by 33.5% and cardiorespiratory disease burden by less than 1%.
Conclusions: Increased physical activity associated with active transport could generate a large net improvement in population health. Measures would be needed to minimize pedestrian and bicyclist injuries. Together, active transport and low-carbon driving could achieve GHGE reductions sufficient for California to meet legislative mandates.

Aging housing stock and our aging society. Is anyone aware of the impact of our aging housing stock on the ability of older people to maintain and age in their homes? This may be a serious issue. Any references or resources would be appreciated. I am developing a position paper on how people seeking or in elected positions should be addressing our aging population.

Thera,
MTC worked on a study with the California Dept of Public Health to apply a model called the Integrated Transporation Heath Impact Model (ITHIM) to examine scenarios where more active transportation trips replaced car trips. The resulting physical activity benefits dwarfed the improvements in air quality from cleaner modes. While it did not look at specific geographic areas it suggests that since the burden of disease related to physical inactivity is so large that increases in population physical activity can go a long way. You can see the paper here:
