by Khreis, Haneen

Dear colleagues, I thought this might interest some of you. The attached (also available from https://www.carteeh.org/carteeh-literature-library/) is a compilation of 1000+ studies on traffic-related air pollution and human health. Please share this resource with your students and colleagues in research and practice. This literature library tabulates several attributes for each study, including the citation details, the publication type, topic area, and type of study. This reference list will be periodically updated to include new studies as they become available. You are also more than welcome to send me or Kristen Sanchez (in cc) any studies which you think should be included. Thank you and warm regards, Haneen.

TRB is hosting a webinar on Monday, March 23 from 2:00 to 3:30 PM Eastern that will identify a holistic approach transportation and health agencies may take to contain and manage the outbreak. Addressing decision-making challenges in disease response in the transportation context is a multi-dimensional task, involving not only transportation and transit organizations, but health organizations, emergency management agencies, and communications outlets as well. Presenters will discuss their experience with other outbreaks such as H1N1 (2009 – a.k.a. “swine flu”) and Avian Influenza. They will identify challenges COVID-19 has presented in their transportation systems and what their agencies are doing to adapt and mitigate risks for those at greatest risk of contracting the illness. Presenters will also discuss what can be done today to enhance the resiliency of our transportation systems at risk of future similar disease outbreaks. *There is no fee to attend this webinar.

TRB Health committee update

by EdC

Greetings—I thought it would be a good time to provide an update on the new TRB health committee. Early in February, Bill Anderson of TRB asked some of us to prepare a proposal seeking a new committee. We had a March 1st deadline which was met. The document, which is more of a description of the Subcommittee’s highlights, is attached. There was specific format to follow as outlined in the committee leadership guide, Resource 9- http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/dva/chair/TRBLeadershipGuide1-35.pdf. So for now, we all are waiting to hear from TRB whats next. More to come as we learn more. Ed Christopher 708-269-5237
