Seeking Ambassadors for Transportation and Public Health (share a ready-made PPT with colleagues) - TRB AME70

by Hall, Faith (FTA)

Seeking Ambassadors for Transportation and Public Health (share a ready-made PPT with colleagues) Dear Transportation and Public Health Community, The TRB Standing Committee on Transportation and Public Health (AME70) is recruiting ambassadors to share a ready-made PowerPoint (attached) of key findings from the NCHRP Guidebook for Communications between Transportation and Public Health Communities<https://apps.trb.org/cmsfeed/TRBNetProjectDisplay.asp?ProjectID=4101.> (Guide). The Guide, one of our favorite publications, provides invaluable information regarding cross-sector collaboration for the advancement of transportation and health efforts. We invite our network of transportation and public health professionals to promote the Guide and spur creative thinking and new partnerships. You do not have to be an expert on the Guide to share it. We would appreciate you letting people know it’s out there! Next month’s TRB Annual Meeting provides an excellent opportunity to share the Guide at lectern sessions, committee meetings, and in committee handouts. The attached PowerPoint slides and suggested talking points is your ready-made script for sharing this message. Please adapt it for your audience and time available. Feel free to include all or part of the slides in a committee handout for distribution or for download. Our goal is that by using a clear and concise set of slides, information in this important Guide (published in 2019) can be disseminated to any audience of transportation and/or health professionals with relatively little effort from the presenter. We appreciate your help! Please email Faith Hall at faithcole(a)gmail.com<mailto:faithcole@gmail.com> with questions and if you share the Guide (for tracking purposes). We encourage you to share this email and the PPT with your networks. Together, we can advance the important effort of improving coordination between the fields of transportation and public health. Thank you, Faith Hall Special Team for Guide Dissemination, TRB Standing Committee on Transportation and Public Health (AME70<https://www.trbhealth.org/>) ______________________________ Faith Hall Member, AME70 - TRB Standing Committee for Transportation and Public Health - https://www.trbhealth.org<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.trbhe…> Office: 202-366-9055 (forwarding to my cell phone) Mobile: 202-875-2971 Faith.Hall(a)dot.gov<mailto:Faith.Hall@dot.gov> ‘Everyone wins with public transportation,’ a video from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<https://youtu.be/X1e2nz1DmyE>.

Lack of safe, convenient, and affordable transportation options can make it difficult for low-income populations to access these resources. A research team led by Georgia State University will use a *randomized trial to test several low-cost ways of improving transportation opportunities for low-income urban diabetic patients*, including providing public transit vouchers, a cash benefit, or mobility counseling compared with usual medical care alone. The team will estimate the impact of these mobility enhancements on access to care, diabetes progression, healthcare utilization and costs. The research team will collaborate with Grady Health System, the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, the Atlanta Regional Commission, and the Atlanta Regional Collaborative for Health Improvement to conduct the study Register Here <https://systemsforaction.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9a7842922937d30…> <https://systemsforaction.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9a7842922937d30…> S4A Research-in-Progress Series - *Dec 9th* - Financing Coordinated Medical and Social Services for Patients with Psychosis <https://systemsforaction.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9a7842922937d30…> These are the last 2 of 2020 - don't miss out and sign up! #ResProgWebinar [image: Twitter] <https://systemsforaction.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9a7842922937d30…> [image: Website] <https://systemsforaction.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9a7842922937d30…> [image: Email] <systemsforaction(a)ucdenver.edu> *About Systems for Action*: The Systems for Action Research Program produces and disseminates rigorous scientific knowledge about how to align the nation’s fragmented medical, social, and public health delivery systems in ways that improve health and health equity.

Without the crash rate based on reliable exposure data, it is difficult to understand and accurately determine if crash increases are due to more people on the road or other factors. The first presentation summarizes efforts to launch a statewide pedestrian and bicyclist monitoring program at Texas DOT and provides a foundation for one approach to institutionalize the collection of these exposure data. The second presentation exemplifies how big data can be used to create an exposure map of bicyclists in San Francisco and shows that the number of crashes and the number of people bicycling is needed to understand which corridors have higher risk through crash rates. Finally, a unique type of pedestrian exposure is described through data collection efforts to determine the extent of pedestrian trespassing events along railways in North Carolina. /Learning Objectives:/ * Become familiar with different program strategies and elements used to implement a statewide pedestrian and bicyclist monitoring program. * Understand how location-based service apps combined with machine learning can differentiate transportation modes to identify bicycling activity. * Recognize how estimating the universe of pedestrian trespassing along railroads provides a more complete picture of exposure than the limited strike data available through the Federal Rail Administration that only represents crash events.
