Which Transportation Research journal for health?

by Matthew A. Raifman

Hi all, Hope you are doing well. I'm a PhD Candidate in Environmental Health at Boston University and looking for some insight on which Transportation Research journal (parts A-D) is most interested in transport and health research as I don't see health in any of their descriptions. Separately, I do find it interesting that health is missing. I'm preparing one of my dissertation aims for publication and it is focused on the health benefits of increasing walking and cycling activity in the Greater Boston area using a k-means clustering approach on top of travel survey data and health impact assessment. Thanks for your thoughts! Alternatively the Journal of Transport & Health seems quite appropriate for this research, but I thought I'd inquire about TRB publications here as well.
