[H+T--Friends] SafeTREC collision mapping site

by Phyllis Orrick

Hi all, Here are a few links we discussed in today's phone call. http://www.tims.berkeley.edu Is the collision mapping site. Registration is required, but it's instant. Here's our research page, which has some of the projects I mentioned, but if you want more details, especially about modeling and data analysis, it's probably best to talk to the lead researchers directly. http://www.safetrec.berkeley.edu/research/ It was great hearing all the activities going on around the country in this area. Thanks for the opportunity to take part. (My Director, David Ragland, is cc'ed). Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need more information.

[H+T--Friends] Watching Prevention Make History

by Sandra Viera

Hi TRB Health and Transportation Subcommittee Friends, I invite you to visit the Prevention Forum<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=1rKrxRKJXERFPbNXXcFwV…>, in which Prevention Institute's Larry Cohen discusses the strength and opportunities presented by the landmark National Prevention Strategy, released last week. The recent release of the NPS is historic, says Cohen: "For the first time the nation has delineated a broad, coherent approach to prevention, and made it clear that prevention is critical for improving our health." The NPS was shaped by seventeen different agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Trade commission and the Department of Agriculture. Virtually every department in government is working together to focus on how to achieve health and wellbeing for the people in every US community.

[H+T--Friends] TRB Health and Transportation Subcommittee: Mission and Scope

by Eloisa Raynault

TRB Health and Transportation Subcommittee: Mission Statement and Scope of Subcommittee The mission of the Health and Transportation Subcommittee is to identify, advance and publish research and information to expand and improve current understanding and evaluation of the health impacts of federal, state, regional and local transportation policies, procedures and actions. The scope of this Subcommittee includes a wide array of topics designed to cover diverse impacts and issues related to health, with attention given to vulnerable populations. Topics include, but are not limited to: sustainable and active transportation modes (e.g., walking, biking, transit), mobility, accessibility, safety, freight and aviation impacts to health, transportation-related air pollution and noise impacts, social cohesion, other social, physical and mental health impacts, the distribution of those health impacts in the population (based on factors including income, race and ethnicity, sex, age and English proficiency), and the use of health impact assessments (HIAs) and other health metrics and indicators to advance the consideration of health impacts in transportation decision-making. The subcommittee will consider approaches to maximizing health benefits and addressing potential adverse impacts of transportation planning and policy decisions through engineering and design solutions. The subcommittee will fulfill its mission by serving as a focal point for transportation issues and their health impacts, both positive and negative. It will do so by reviewing and publishing research, sponsoring paper calls, developing research proposals and contributing to the knowledge base, and through the use of a variety of communication methods. This Subcommittee will bring together a variety of disciplines (e.g., engineers, public health professionals, planners, epidemiologists, economists, advocates, elected officials, academics) to advance the Subcommittee's mission and scope.
