Dear H+T friends!
UBC Health and Community Design Lab is hiring a new Post-doctoral Research
Fellow. The postdoc will be working with Dr. Lawrence Frank and Dr. Andy
Hong along with other team members in the Lab on a new project funded by
key players in the region, including the City of Vancouver, TransLink,
Metro Vancouver, and Vancouver Coastal Health authority. Note that we
accept application from those who are very near completion of their PhD.
The deadline is fast approaching, March 29, so please share this job
announcement far and wide with your network. We prefer to keep this
deadline, but the applicants may still submit their application via
spph.act-trans(a)ubc.ca. I am a postdoc myself, and I can answer any

Hi all,
Greetings from one of the TRB Health and Transportation Subcommittee's co-sponsoring committees-the Urban Transportation Data and Information Systems Committee (ABJ30)! This committee is developing an Urban Data (and Tool) Inventory cataloging data resources and tools commonly used by transportation practitioners and researchers. One focus of this inventory will be health and transportation. I am pulling together the health and transportation chapter and would like to draw on the great expertise on this listserv.
Please consider supporting this effort by filling out this brief Health and Transportation Data Survey<https://goo.gl/forms/VWZDalwk8ORkpyON2> by Friday, March 31st. This is a great opportunity to share our important work a bit more broadly within the transportation community.
Feel free to contact me directly (theodore.mansfield(a)dot.gov) If you have any questions/issues with the survey or the data inventory more broadly.
Best,
Ted Mansfield, PhD

TCRP Report 187: Livable Transit Corridors: Methods, Metrics, and Strategies

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
What if people could access most of their basic needs on foot or in a single transit trip? While planners and designers stress the importance of livability and engage in land-use/transportation integration, little work has explored the potential of planning for livability at the corridor scale.
We are pleased to announce the recent publication of "TCRP Report 187: Livable Transit Corridors: Methods, Metrics, and Strategies <https://www.nap.edu/catalog/23630/livable-transit-corridors-methods-metrics…> " by the Transit Cooperative Research Program, part of the Transportation Research Board.
Join co-authors and moderator for this lively session:
Val Menotti, Chief Planning and Development Officer at the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) district, will be the moderator.
* Christopher Ferrell, PhD
* Bruce Appleyard, PhD
* Matthew Taecker, AIA, AICP
The Handbook and its companion Livability Calculator <https://www.livabilitycalculator.com/> tool were designed to help planners, policy makers, and other stakeholders measure, evaluate, and improve transit corridor livability. The most livable corridors provide an array of opportunities, which can be encouraged through urban policy and inter-jurisdictional cooperation.
