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.
Best,
Matt

The International Conference on Transport and Health is now the IPATH Annual Meeting, and we are happy to announce that it will be returning in 2023 as an online webinar series!
The IPATH Annual Meeting 2023 will be a series of three online 1-Day Conferences in June, September, and December 2023. Each conference will include three or four 90-minute sessions and one keynote. All sessions will be recorded. The start time will be 11:00 AM EDT USA to account for other time zones, but an earlier or later time may be scheduled so that participants in similar time zones join the same session.
Research or case study/practice abstracts are now invited for the first conference on 29 June 2023. The topic is active travel. See more details and submit your abstract here: https://www.ipathinc.org/abstract-submission.html
The registration fee is set at $50 per conference or $100 USD for all three conferences for non-IPATH members. Registration is free for IPATH members. You can join or renew your IPATH membership at http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07ej09gnde3f8d9…
Cash prizes ($200 USD) will be awarded to the two highest-scoring abstracts (including oral, Pecha Kucha, and poster) and the best poster.
Abstract Submission is open until Friday 12 May 2023.
We are looking forward to seeing several of you at the next IPATH Annual Meeting.

***************************
Researchers at Polytechnique Montréal, INRS, and Université Laval are conducting research on estimating traffic danger with respect to children's daily travel (as a vulnerable group). The objective is to develop a tool to estimate traffic danger for cities so that they might better know where to focus interventions. The focus groups will be held in April through June (2023) and the exact time will be determined in consultation with participants. As we are using a multi-criteria decision aiding process, there will be roughly three discussions for participants.
We are looking for:
1. Experts in traffic safety (of diverse disciplines). For experts, the first focus group will last between two and three hours. Please complete this short form: https://forms.gle/2hJ9tj2BLijUJuyV9
2. Parents of children in elementary school (aged 7 through 13). Please complete this short form: https://forms.gle/snWXMJ9V6Hhh34rR6
3. Children aged 8 to 12. Please complete this short form: https://forms.gle/snWXMJ9V6Hhh34rR6
This project has been approved by the Research ethics committee of Polytechnique Montréal CER-2223-63-D.

L'objectif est de développer un outil d'estimation le danger de la circulation pour les villes afin de mieux savoir où concentrer les interventions. Les groupes de discussion se tiendront d'avril à juin (2023) et la date exacte sera déterminée en consultation avec les participants. Comme nous utilisons un processus d'aide à la décision multicritère, il y aura environ trois discussions pour les participants.
Nous recherchons
1) Des experts en sécurité routière (de diverses disciplines). Pour les experts, le premier groupe de discussion durera entre deux et trois heures. Veuillez remplir ce court formulaire : https://forms.gle/2hJ9tj2BLijUJuyV9
2) Des parents d'enfants en école primaire (âgés de 7 à 13 ans). Veuillez remplir ce court formulaire : https://forms.gle/snWXMJ9V6Hhh34rR6
