[H+T--Friends] New (world first?) Professor of Transport and Health

by Mindell, Jenny

Congratulations to Adrian Davis, new Professor of Transport and Health at Napier University, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK Adrian will be well known to most people in the transport and health field, as he has combined transport planning and public health as both a practitioner and an academic (truly multi- and inter-disciplinary work). He will continue working with colleagues at the University of Western England and his roles as Co-Chair (Science) of the Transport and Health Study Group (THSG) and as Associate Editor of the Journal of Transport and Health. We think this is a world first and shows our 'niche' specialty is becoming mainstream.

Re: [H+T--Friends] h+t messages not coming through

by Ed Christopher

For digest users--I apologize for the glitch. About a month ago we switched servers and I think that had something to do with the digest. I will try to keep an eye on it moving forward. Hopefully whatever glitched is behind us. If you are really concerned about timeliness of course getting off the digest would be better. Karin, thanks for letting me know. I was totally unaware that there was a digest issue. On 9/12/2018 10:55 AM, Karin Valentine Goins wrote: > I have been on the listserv a couple years.

[H+T--Friends] FYI: StreetSmarts health and transportation tool in MOU with ITE

by Renee Autumn Ray

The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) has signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate with Streetsmart, a nonprofit organization in Oregon, USA that is developing an evidence-based transportation tool to better integrate health into engineering practice. Currently in prototype form, this online tool will help better integrate a wide range of environmental and livability concerns, including health, into engineering and planning practice. Streetsmart Executive Director Kelly Rodgers explains, "The relationship between certain transportation strategies, such as traffic calming, and the goals we have for our communities, such as improved safety and health, have been described and documented in the research literature. However, this information isn't readily accessible to those who need it: planners, engineers, elected officials, and the communities they serve. As an interactive web-based tool, Streetsmart illuminates these relationships in a visually rich and compelling way using the best evidence available, making data that were generally inaccessible more actionable." "This tool will help ITE members advance the goals of our Transportation and Health initiative," said Jeffrey Paniati, ITE Executive Director and CEO. "Helping our members and the greater transportation community make meaningful connections between transportation practice and the health of all transportation system users is of great importance. We're excited to be working with Kelly Rodgers and her team at Streetsmart to effectively publicize this information to the groups that need it most." ITE will assist with the review and translation of research results, form and support one or more potential user focus groups, recruit pilot agencies and manage pilot projects, support applications for funding, and connect ITE member transportation professionals to the availability and usefulness of the tool. *About Streetsmart* Streetsmart, an incorporated nonprofit organization, gives you the evidence and insight you need to prioritize, defend, and decide what transportation solutions works best in your community. Our proof-of-concept prototype is ready for your feedback. We're building partnerships and pursuing research projects to build the beta version of Streetsmart. To learn more, visit http://welcome.thinkstreetsmart.org . *About ITE* Founded in 1930, ITE is a community of transportation professionals including, transportation engineers, transportation planners, consultants, educators, technologists, and researchers. Through meetings, seminars, publications, and a network of more than 15,000 members working in more than 90 countries, ITE is your source for expertise, knowledge, and ideas.

[H+T--Friends] NCHRP 25-25 Task 105: Guidebook for Communication between Transportation and Public Health Communities - Solicitation for Case Examples

by Ann Steedly

Dear Health and Transportation Subcommittee members and friends: Our team is working on NCHRP 25-25 Task 105: A Guidebook for Communications between Transportation and Public Health Communities. We are working to develop a practitioner-friendly guide that provides tools and techniques that can be put into ready use by transportation practitioners and agencies to effectively integrate health considerations from transportation planning through implementation. For more information on the project, please visit the project website at: http://apps.trb.org/cmsfee d/TRBNetProjectDisplay.asp?ProjectID=4101. The team will be incorporating input from transportation and health stakeholders in the guidebook which will touch on topics including: transportation and health processes and points of intersection; stakeholders to involve; communications and language differences; communication and coordination techniques; existing organizations, forums and program resources available to support collaboration; and resources and data sources for practitioners to learn more about transportation and health issues. *Input Requested* The research team would greatly appreciate H+T Subcommittee suggestions for examples of successful transportation and health coordination and collaboration efforts, tools and methods. If you have examples to submit to the team please email asteedly(a)planningcommunities.com and include the following information: name of or other reference for the effort; brief description; website (if available); and contact information (name, email and/or phone) for follow up. Please send in your suggestions no later than *August 17, 2018* so we can incorporate them into the next phase of guidebook development. Thank you very much for your input. We look forward to sharing the guidebook with you in early 2019!
