The first order of business was for TRB to identify a committee chair. Leslie Meehan, TN Department of Public Health, and I (Ed Christopher, Independent Transportation Planning Consultant) have been nominated and accepted to serve as co-chairs. Tom Palmerlee and Gary Jenkins will serve as the TRB staff to the committee. The Committee with be organized under the Transportation and Society Section (AME00) which is part of the Sustainability & Resilience Group (AM000). Bill Anderson is the TRB staff to the Section and Group. Here is a link to the Current committee organizational chart. http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/dva/strategicalignment/TRBOrganization… Leslie and I had our first meeting yesterday with TRB staff and began discussing the tasks ahead.

While agencies have been using this countermeasure for over a decade, transportation professionals still have questions about when and where they should install PHBs. Webinar panelists will share new research that evaluated safety and driver yielding at PHB locations on higher speed roads (among other findings) and discuss how this research and other factors have influenced their guidelines for installing PHBs. Panelists include: Bill Stone (Arizona Department of Transportation), Mike Cynecki (Lee Engineering), and Mailén Pankiewicz (City of Phoenix).

Call for health and transportation resources

by Kelly Rodgers

Hello everyone - We've been working with ITE to develop a health and transportation clearinghouse and the call is now ready. Please see below. Please considering submitting a case study or other guidance for how to integrate health and transportation. Have a weblink or pdf of the resource ready for submission. ITE is seeking published resources documenting and addressing health concerns in transportation plans, projects, and programs. It is ITE’s goal to organize this content into a clearinghouse for use by a wide range of practitioners seeking resources on integrating health in transportation. Case studies and site-specific projects are especially helpful in illustrating how to integrate access, equity, air quality, and physical activity into transportation. The call for resources can be found here: https://www.ite.org/technical-resources/topics/transportation-and-health/ To submit already published content, such as guidance, case studies, research or other published information, please do so through ITE's OpenWater Call <https://clearinghouse.secure-platform.com/a/organizations/main/submissions/…> for content by May 15, 2020. If you are not an ITE member, you can create an account to submit. If you are an ITE member, you will use your membership login. -- Kelly Rodgers Executive Director, Streetsmart <http://welcome.thinkstreetsmart.org/> kelly(a)thinkstreetsmart.org 503.442.7165 Portland, OR *Please note I am working in Pacific Standard Time.*
