Dear colleagues,
We are organizing a virtual special issue on travel satisfaction, please find the details below.
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/transportation-research-part-d-transport-…
Virtual Special Issue in Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment
VSI: Travel Satisfaction
Theme: New trends in travel satisfaction research
Subjective wellbeing (SWB), a critical indicator of social sustainability, has been increasingly used as a measure of economic development and social progress in many cities and nations. As a specific domain of SWB, travel satisfaction has recently attracted significant attention. Travel satisfaction offers a direct measurement of individuals’ mood, emotion and cognitive judgement on travel experiences, and thus captures the experienced utility of travel.
In the past decade, many studies have defined and measured travel satisfaction, and investigated its correlates such as trip characteristics (e.g., mode choice, trip duration), the built environment, and travel attitudes. Most studies rely on a unidirectional theoretical framework, where travel satisfaction serves as the dependent variable. However, feedback effects, such as the impact of travel satisfaction on travel behaviour and residential location choice, are barely examined. Additionally, the literature has little information on how people experience new forms of mobility (e.g., shared mobility and micro-mobility modes) and the extent to which vulnerable groups (e.g., older people, children, disadvantaged populations including minority groups, those with disabilities, and those with lower-incomes) are satisfied with their travel. The broad impacts of travel satisfaction on personal health, family life, social interactions, and work productivity also merit further investigation. Emerging open and real-time sensor data and new data analytical methods may provide opportunities to examine various aspects of travel satisfaction from a new perspective.
This special issue aims to bring together novel research on travel satisfaction, and encourages submissions of original research and review articles on (but not limited to) the following topics:
* Travel affect and positive utility of travel
* New ways of measuring travel satisfaction
* New evidence on the correlates of travel satisfaction
* Effects of travel satisfaction on travel behaviour, travel attitudes, residential location choice, etc.
* Travel satisfaction of vulnerable and disadvantaged populations
* Commute satisfaction and its spill-over effects
* Satisfaction with emerging and future travel modes (ridesharing, e-bikes, etc.)
* Impacts of travel satisfaction on important life domains (social interactions, family relationships, health, work performance, etc.) and life satisfaction
* Travel satisfaction oriented policy for transport planning

Streetsmart News. Vol. 27, 2020
Evidence and Insight for Better Transportation
Committees on Transportation and Public Health
Executive Director Kelly Rodgers is honored to serve on two newly formed
committees on transportation and public health: the Transportation
Research Board's (TRB) Committee on Transportation and Public Health
(AME70) and the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
Transportation and Health Standing Committee.
TRB created theCommittee on Transportation and Public Health (AME70),
replacing the sub-committee on the same subject, as part of TRB's new
committee structure
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001KeHNBk4Iiz3zxeMq0NT_-aloFPLLRuMsvXaciUP_PU1r…>.
AME70 is hosting its inaugural mid-year meeting on July 29. We'll
provide an update of where the committee has been and discuss where we
want to go. Please join us:

Similarly, ITE has elevated the issue of public health in transportation
by creating the Transportation and Health Standing Committee
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001KeHNBk4Iiz3zxeMq0NT_-aloFPLLRuMsvXaciUP_PU1r…>(previously,
health-related issues were addressed through an ITE advisory task force
and working group). Kelly Rodgers has been appointed as vice-chair of
the committee. Kelly is leading the development of the health and
transportation technical resource clearinghouse that will be released
this fall.
As these committees demonstrate, the transportation industry is
increasingly recognizing its impact on public health. Their formation is
an important move in institutionalizing health considerations in
transportation. Stay tuned to hear about initiatives that will emerge
from these efforts.
How to Receive Feedback
White people, have you ever felt afraid of saying the wrong thing about
race or get defensive when a person of color lets you know that you’ve
said something hurtful? The fear of being called a racist can get in the
way of having authentic conversations and learning. This 12-minute TED
Talk
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001KeHNBk4Iiz3zxeMq0NT_-aloFPLLRuMsvXaciUP_PU1r…>by
Jay Smooth re-frames the way we talk about racism and can help you take
feedback more gracefully. And you will never think of brushing your
teeth in the same way again.
How to Center Equity in Transportation
This episode of The Movementpodcast
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001KeHNBk4Iiz3zxeMq0NT_-aloFPLLRuMsvXaciUP_PU1r…>features
Veronica Davis of Nspiregreen
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001KeHNBk4Iiz3zxeMq0NT_-aloFPLLRuMsvXaciUP_PU1r…>,
a transportation planner and engineer.She describes how she integrates
equity into her work, such as Vision Zero and Livability plans, and
offers an emergency room analogy for how we prioritize work and
resources in communities. Veronica also discusses the process behind the
development of the Salzburg Statement onConfronting Power and Privilege
for Inclusive, Equitable, and Healthy Communities
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001KeHNBk4Iiz3zxeMq0NT_-aloFPLLRuMsvXaciUP_PU1r…>,
which she helped author.
WHY STREETSMART?
We get it. Civic leaders struggle to find the evidence they need to
evaluate and prioritize transportation investments. The research is
scattered, time-consuming to find, and difficult to digest. We do all
the work of synthesizing the research and presenting in an intuitive and
easy-to-use format, without compromising quality or rigor.
Civic leaders need to make the case for solutions that work best for
their community, which sometimes requires defending innovation.
Streetsmart reduces risk by providing the evidence and examples of what
works in other communities. We’ve got your back.
Find success stories with key lessons learned in one easy-to-search
place. Why re-invent the wheel? Streetsmart offers insight via case
studies and guidebooks relevant to each topic area. Learn from others in
the trenches working on issues similar to yours.

Dear Friends
As many of you may know I have self published this book and I am keen to publicise it as much as possible - particularly in the USA, but also internationally more generally. Please order it for your libraries and put it on your reading lists - as it is self published, it is not on the normal library lists and this is a major part of my own efforts to spread the word about the book.
The details are David Banister (2018) Inequality in Transport - Price £30.00 - p. 272 and in full colour. ISBN 978-0-906661-01-7 See the book website - www.<http://www.inequalityintransport.org.uk/>inequalityintransport.org.uk<http://www.inequalityintransport.org.uk/> - there is lots of information there and samples of what is in the book - it is available through a variety of outlets, including amazon.
It is also available through amazon kindle https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07F2QMS6X/ price £9.99.

Inequality In Transport eBook: David Banister: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store
Synopsis: Everyone needs transport to move around and to access everyday needs, but for each individual those needs are different, and they change over time and space: herein lie the seeds of inequalities in transport. In inequality in Transport, David Banister addresses this complex problem, first through an exploration of inequality, its nature, measurement and extent. He then links inequality and the transport sector through detailed analysis of the variations in daily and long-distance travel in Great Britain over a ten-year period. He argues that there must be a much wider interpretation of inequality- one that links actual travel with measures of wellbeing and sustainability, recognizing that these will change over time. In drawing his findings together, he concludes that there must be new thinking in transport policy and planning if transport inequalities are to be alleviated.

Dear TRB Health and Transportation committee members and friends,
I hope this email finds you healthy and well.
Based on your interest in transportation and public health, we would like to request your participation and valuable input in this survey:
https://forms.gle/VAQoDKD2f1Hy9Xc4A
Through the Southeastern Transportation Research, Innovation, Development & Education Center (STRIDE), housed at University of Florida, collaborating researchers at The Citadel are working to gain a collective perspective on how transportation engineering related curriculum incorporates instructional material related to public health and physical activity. For this purpose, faculty from universities across North America, and beyond, are being surveyed to develop a broad understating of course offerings, course goals and course content.
The survey should take 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary. Submitted data will be secure and only study researchers will be allowed to review responses. A list of participating universities will be included in the final report; however, responses will not be associated with anyone's name, or university. Participant privacy will be protected.
Thank you very much,

Hello everyone,
Hope you are all well, and staying safe and healthy. I would like to inform you about a new survey-based study examining "social interactions, trips, and wellbeing" during COVID-19 confinement.
We would very much appreciate if you can fill the survey and share it with your family, friends, colleagues, etc. As of now, we have the survey available in both English and French.
Please see below for more information about the study as well as the direct links to the survey.
*******************************
How have your social interactions and daily trips changed? How do you feel about those changes?
Owen Waygood (Polytechnique Montréal) in collaboration with colleagues Genevieve Boisjoly (Polytechnique Montréal), Kevin Manaugh (McGill University), and Ipek Sener (Texas A&M Transportation Institute) have launched a survey that wants to know just that.
The research looks to better understand about how your living context (i.e., type of building you live in, what your local environment is) might interact with the types of trips you are making, the types of social interactions you are having, and your wellbeing during this unprecedented time. Perhaps you are enjoying this time - reaching out to people you haven't heard from in ages, or maybe you're really pining for human contact. There are a wide variety of responses that people will have and we hope to know how to improve conditions for the near present and any future such events.
The survey takes around 20 minutes, with an additional section on children at the end that takes around 5 minutes. It is open to any adult (as defined by the law and culture where they live).
Thank you for taking the survey and for sharing it!

*Subject:* [EXTERNAL] Memorial for Chris Kochtitzky (Zoom)
As a friend and colleague of Chris Kochtitzky, I wanted to share updated
information about how his community is honoring his life after we
tragically lost him on May 3^rd . Given the tremendous network of people
who knew Chris, and the sudden and unexpected loss, CDC colleagues and
friends have organized a Zoom memorial to his life and friendships on
*/Wednesday, May 20 at 1pm/*. See below for the specific Zoom information.
In addition, the CDC Foundation has established a memorial fund honoring
Chris that focuses on building the bridge between urban planning and
public health. More information is available at

Sharing memories of Chris with each other is also an important healing
process. Many of you have already shared memories of Chris. Below and

*CDC Announcement*
It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of CDC employee
Chris Kochtitzky.
Chris started at CDC as a presidential management intern in 1992 and
worked for several years as a policy analyst in ATSDR. In 1997, he moved
to the NCEH Office of Policy, Evaluation, and Legislation where he
served as its deputy director. In 2003, after serving for two years as
the associate director of Policy for the Division of Emergency and
Environmental Health Services, he served a year as the branch chief of
the Disability and Health Branch in NCBDDD, and later became the deputy
director of the Division of Human Development and Disability. In 2006,
he was appointed by former CDC Director Julie Gerberding, MD, to lead
the healthy community goal team, where he served until 2009. From 2009
to 2017, he served as the associate director for program development for
the NCEH Division of Emergency and Environmental Health Services before
joining the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity (DNPAO)
as a senior advisor for the Physical Activity Branch.
As a senior advisor in DNPAO, he served as an expert on the development
of evidence-based guidelines and recommendations to increase physical
activity across the country. He provided technical and subject matter
expertise to state and community programs in the areas of policy,
systems, and environmental interventions designed to promote active
living. In his role with DNPAO and his collaboration across CDC, Chris
supported program evaluation, strategic planning, and partner and
stakeholder engagement in the areas of active living and related health
promotion.
He authored several publications including a 2006 /MMWR/ on urban
planning and public health and a 2011 article on ensuring
mobility-supporting environments in aging populations in the /Journal of
Aging Research/, as well as book chapters on environmental health law
and the impact of the built environment on human development. He
presented at numerous conferences and meetings throughout the United
States, served as a panelist for the CDC Public Health Grand Rounds on
Healthy Places in May 2007, and was recently recognized as a Public
Health Agent of Change by CDC’s Office of Minority Health and Health Equity.
Chris was also one of the founders of the field of built environment and
health at CDC. He published an influential /MMWR/ on the subject in
2006, helped organize CDC’s Built Environment and Health Group in 2008,
and was a key contributor to the Surgeon General’s Call to Action to
Promote Walking and Walkable Communities in 2015. Most recently, he was
a driving force in organizing the Transportation Research Board (TRB),
Conference on Active Transportation and Health. His work in this area
supported TRB’s decision to create a Committee on Transportation and
Health in February, a seminal moment in the field.
Chris befriended and maintained relationships with so many inside and
outside the agency. He served as a mentor to the Presidential Management
Fellows program, as well as to participants in multiple other
internships and fellowships across CDC. He was always willing to offer
advice and found creative and practical solutions to wide ranges of
public health problems, particularly those requiring an
interdisciplinary approach. He was a tenacious public health
professional pursuing his work with vigor, charm, wisdom, and
intelligence. His death is a major loss for his friends, his field, and
for the agency’s work.
As one of the initial urban planners hired at CDC, Chris worked
tirelessly as a bridge between the fields of planning and public health.
In 2010, he began serving as an adjunct professor at Emory University
and taught a course on Public Health and the Built Environment, with
joint enrollment from Emory public health students and Georgia Tech
urban planning, architecture, and engineering students. Through all of
his work, Chris was known for the strength of the partnerships he
developed and maintained. His networks allowed for the spread and scale
of science and implementation of programs across federal, state, and
local agencies as well as the private and non-profit sectors.
