Hello all! I hope that all TRB attendees had a good time and learned a lot!
As our subcommittee is growing and taking on more initiatives, we thought
it was a good time to reach out to all of you to get involved. We have a
number of interesting activities for a wide range of skills sets including
outreach to other TRB committees and partner organizations, brainstorming
research topics, and website maintenance. Check out our website to see some
examples of what's going on:
http://www.trbhealth.org/
We also have a special request and need for photos depicting Health and
Transportation. Currently the Subcommittee is working on a health-themed
issue of TRNews to be published in September 2015. As you might expect,
finding “good” photos that show health and transportation and would attract
interest are hard to come by. If you have any photos that you would like
to have considered please send them along. According to TRB submission
rules “Submit original artwork if possible. Glossy, high-quality black and
white photographs, color photographs and slides are acceptable. Digital
continuous-tone images must be submitted as TIFF or JPEG files and must be
at least 3 inch by 5 inch with a resolution of 300dpi. A caption should be
supplied for each graphic element.” And of course if your photo(s) is used
you will get photographic credit.
Please email Ed Christopher (ed.christopher(a)dot.gov) or Eloisa Raynault (
eraynault(a)planningcommunities.com) if you are interested in volunteering or
have some photos to share.
Thanks!
Apologies for cross-posting.
The Task Force on Understanding New Directions for the National Household
Travel Survey Task Force (ABJ45T) has an engaging range of activities
planned for TRB 2015 covering energy, health, travel behavior, freight etc.
Hope to see you there. A document with all ABJ45T activities can be found
here: http://goo.gl/8AnFAl
Safe Travels and see you next week,
Krishnan

Dear friends of the Health and Transportation Subcommittee:
Volunteers made a list of TRB sessions related to health and
transportation. These "TRB Picks" can be found on our website here:
http://www.trbhealth.org/trb-meetings.
This web page also highlights TRB events that are directly related to the
Subcommittee, such as the workshop on Sunday and the poster session on
Tuesday.
Hope to see you soon at the Subcommittee meeting (Monday at 13:30).
Kind regards,
Carey

I am forwarding the following opportunity which I thought would be of particular interest to this list.
This position will be working exclusively on Vision Zero traffic safety initiatives including research and analysis for the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency and Department of Public Health.
The desirable qualifications section of the job posting provides a better sense of what is expected as opposed to the position description/examples of duties language, which is standardized for this position class and focused more on transit planning.
Please share with anyone you think may be interested.
Thank you!
