[H+T--Friends] Free federal transportation webinar next week

by Eloisa Raynault

Good morning everyone, Thanks to everyone who participated in the recent subcommittee survey that was shared via this listserve. One of the bits of information lifted from your responses was that "information on new or existing policies, regulations, laws, or legislative processes" was deemed quite valuable to a healthy majority of survey respondents. With that in mind, I just heard about this free webinar next week on the U.S. Congress' work on the transportation authorization; it may be of interest to you and your networks. As people hear of other events, please share them. ******** Join the Alliance and the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals for a free U.S. Federal Transportation Policy Webinar next Wednesday, January 11, at3 p.m. Eastern. Learn what the U.S. Congress is contemplating regarding policy and funding on this webinar co-sponsored by the Alliance and APBP. Caron Whitaker, one of Washington, DC's leading experts on sustainable transportation, is the Campaign Director for America Bikes, the coalition of national bicycle and pedestrian organizations working on the federal transportation bill. She will offer a briefing you won't want to miss. Register for this free, one-hour webinar at: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/613657738? If you have any questions, please contact Kit Keller at kit(a)apbp.org. ******** Eloisa Raynault | American Public Health Association | 800 I Street, NW, Washington, DC 20001 | Transportation, Health and Equity Program Manager | o: 202-777-2487 | http://www.apha.org/transportation Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.

[H+T--Friends] Health Impact Assessment of Road Pricing

by Megan Wier

Hi everyone - I wanted to share the following report summarizing the findings of a health impact assessment (HIA) of a potential road pricing program in San Francisco conducted by the San Francisco Department of Public Health's Program on Health, Equity and Sustainability as I thought it may be of interest to the list. The HIA was completed this Fall with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Active Living Research Program. A summary and detailed technical report of the findings are available at: http://www.sfphes.org/HIA_Road_Pricing.htm. For the HIA analysis, SFDPH used a variety of methods to assess potential transportation-related health effects - including air quality-related premature mortality, traffic noise-related annoyance and heart attacks, injury to pedestrians and cyclists, and health benefits from active transportation – and evaluated health-related equity effects and associated economic value. The HIA found that transportation system operation in San Francisco has substantial health burdens and benefits today. Health burdens are expected to increase in the future owing to increasing motor vehicles on local roadways and increasing population densities in already congested areas. However, there are also estimated increases in active transportation (walking and biking) that bring some health benefits and save lives. Road pricing, if implemented, could moderate but not entirely eliminate the changes associated with a future under “business as usual” that includes increasing populations and traffic and no new policies or funding to manage the transportation system. Road pricing could also generate significant economic value by reducing transportation-related adverse effects and increasing walking and biking. HIA recommendations include increasing congestion pricing fees where they can reduce health risks (e.g., on spare the air days) and investing in targeted infrastructure to reduce pedestrian and cyclist injury and increase active transportation. Thank you, and happy holidays! ------------------------------------------------------------- Megan L.
