I am Co-editor of a new book “Health on the Move 3: The Reviews” being published this year. Chapter 2 (I’m co-author) is a systematic review of reviews on Disability and Travel, which you may find helpful.
We will also be producing a virtual special issue in Journal of Transport and Health with cut-down versions of each chapter, including one on disability and travel, which I hope will be open access.
Every chapter (and the journal papers) are (will be) peer reviewed.

Good morning all,
Hope this email finds you well and great to see you last week at TRB. Just
wanted to recap what I mentioned in your committee meeting (thanks for
fitting me in Ipek!). Love to have any help you and your network can
provide to advance this project.
All people in a community rely on the transportation network to get from
point A to point B in the interest of living, working, and playing.
However, the system historically has not been designed to benefit all users
equally. More specifically, there are design and planning considerations
that have not been wholly considered, resulting in adverse consequences to
the physical mobility plus the interactive and safe use of streetscapes for
people with disabilities. Those design and planning considerations have
proliferated over the years for various reasons and context, but boil down
to a lack of awareness of the concept of inclusive accessibility and the
real life implications to end users (understanding “to walk in their
shoes”).
Deliverables
-
Resource guide exploring streetscape accessibility from mobility,
vision, hearing, cognitive ability, and language barrier perspectives.
Exploring from conceptualization, community engagement, design,
construction, and maintenance of the streetscape for accessibility.
-
Federal advocacy push for a transit ready communities legislative idea
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ya7KIT77xEBmuEWmSvIDWuFrTC853MgbeNtW2NH…>,
aimed to push for standards development, discretionary and formula funding
to facilitate accessible streetscapes, and support land use and zoning
innovation.
-
Development of accessible streetscape guidelines for incorporation
into NACTO’s
Urban Street Design Guide
<https://nacto.org/publication/urban-street-design-guide/> and other
related enforceable guidelines.
So my hope in this announcement is seeking volunteers and support for the
development of this project, specific asks include:
- Peer reviewer of an end user survey (PDF
<https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3A92e20ef6…>
and surveyMonkey
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Preview/?sm=qXEgXufPAVcXzYIhBpd8DcuL1MNr59Wb…>),
due to go out this spring (tentative mid March 2024 for 60 days)
- So appreciate help with peer review to be completed by the end of
February 2024
- Assistance in distributing the end user survey across the
country/internationally
- Peer review of the literature / best practices catalog
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16LL6kNyI7jt9KY3nUAysRkJwpfSDmWFb_d0…>
- Peer reviewer of the resource guide, later in 2024

Feel free to reach out to me or direct any volunteers my way. Thanks!

Dear Committee Members and Friends,
We are just a few days away from the upcoming 103rd Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting<https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/31250916/www.trb.org?p=eyJzIjoiczJJXzNo…> and are very excited about it!
Attached is the agenda for our committee meeting<https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/31250916/annualmeeting.mytrb.org?p=eyJz…>, scheduled for Tuesday, January 9, 2024, from 8 AM to noon (US Eastern Time), at Marriott Marquis, Independence Salon D (M4), Washington, DC.
We have a full agenda, featuring various opportunities to network, socialize, visit posters, hear from each other, celebrate, enjoy presentations from our fantastic lightning speakers, and define a path forward for our research agenda and other committee activities. Hope you can join us!
For those who may not be able to join TRB in person, we will provide a virtual connection for the last two parts of the committee meeting as listed in the agenda (with login available starting at 9 AM ET). Note that the quality of the connection will depend on the conference hotel bandwidth given the various simultaneous events, but we hope to make it work.
The last page of our agenda includes a list of all podium, poster, and workshop sessions that we are sponsoring or co-sponsoring this year. We hope you can join us for these wonderful sessions.
We look forward to seeing many of you soon!
Thanks, and have safe travels!

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

Call for Abstracts
International Conference
ITS 2023
"Intelligent Systems and Consciousness Society"
2-3 November 2023
Cultural Center of the University of Patras, Greece
The International Conference ITS 2023: "Intelligent Systems and Consciousness Society" is organized by the University of Patras, Department of Civil Engineering, in cooperation with ITS Hellas, with the support of the Hellenic Institute of Transportation Engineers under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, during 2-3 November 2023, in the Conference and Cultural Center of the University of Patras, Greece.
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) represent the state of the art in transportation infrastructure and networks and ensure comfortable, fast, and safe movement of people and goods in smart cities and communities. Connected (C-ITS) and Conscious Connected Intelligent Transportation Systems (CC-ΙTS) are key elements in the roadmap towards vehicle autonomy and the empowerment of the mobile citizen in decision-making. This is founded on reshaped holistic understanding and the optimal interpretation of values and situations involving people, objects, and vehicles for drastically improved mobility and safety.
New submission deadline is June 15, 2023. In addition to the oral presentations, the University of Patras is now accepting abstracts for conference workshops, sessions, and posters. Regarding the abstract submission abstract, you can find more in the call for abstracts<http://conference2023.upatras.gr/index.php/conference/announcements/52-call…> and in the conference website<http://conference2023.upatras.gr/>.
