[H+T--Friends] Therese McMillen Fast Lane post on health and transit

by Faith.Hall＠dot.gov

Jan 7 If you made a New Year's health resolution, start with Transit Posted by Therese McMillan If you've made a New Year's resolution to get healthier in 2016, here's some advice: in addition to eating better and getting more exercise, try transit. Sitting on a bus or a train may not strike you as being especially active, but, in fact, researchers have found that people who regularly use public transportation actually walk a lot more [external link]<http://www.pri.org/stories/2015-10-28/why-taking-bus-better-our-health-driv…> than those who don't. The Centers for Disease Control recommends that adults take a minimum 10-minute brisk walk three times a day, five days a week, and choosing transit as part of your everyday activities can help you get closer to that ideal. Innovations like modern streetcars, urban circulators, and bikeshare services give more people the option to choose a healthier - and less expensive - way to travel short distances than hopping in a cab. [Passengers walking to and from transit in Hoboken, NJ] Taking transit can also be good for your mental health. Last year, researchers in England found that commuters reported feeling better after traveling by public transportation [external link]<http://gizmodo.com/the-best-ways-to-get-to-work-according-to-science-173379…> compared to driving. The researchers attributed that to the fact that transit gives you more opportunity to relax, read, and socialize, while the short walk to and from transit stops also contributes to well-being. Not surprisingly, they found that the more time people spend commuting in cars, the worse they feel; they also found that regular walks have the opposite effect. By using and supporting public transportation, you'll also be making a positive impact on the air you breathe. Reducing the number of people commuting alone in cars reduces pollution. In addition, many transit agencies are switching to buses that use Compressed Natural Gas, hybrid-electric, and all-electric engines. FTA has helped spur the adoption of new technology through its Low or No Emission Vehicle Deployment Program<http://www.fta.dot.gov/newsroom/news_releases/12286_16270.html>, which last year provided $55 million to put a new generation of advanced, non-polluting transit buses on the road in cities across the country. That includes cities like Louisville, Kentucky, where the new ZeroBus fleet is expected to reduce emissions by two-thirds and save more than $300,000 a year in maintenance and fuel costs. [Transportation Health Tool snapshot for Dayton, Ohio] DOT's Transportation & Health Tool shows Dayton, Ohio, at about the 80th percentile. Wondering how transportation options in your community benefit your health? Check out DOT's online Transportation and Health Tool<https://www.transportation.gov/transportation-health-tool>. The tool, developed by DOT with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), provides data on a set of transportation and public health indicators for each U.S. state and metropolitan area. These indicators describe how the transportation environment affects safety, active transportation, air quality, and connectivity to destinations. You can use the tool to quickly see how your state or metropolitan area compares with others in addressing key transportation and health issues. Good health starts with good habits. Keep your healthy resolution in 2016 by choosing transit!

[H+T--Friends] TRB Health and Transportation: Annual Report

by Eloisa Raynault

Hello Subcommittee friends, The subcommittee's annual report on activities has been provided below. Please note that health and transportation-related events at the 2016 TRB Annual Meeting are included in the report below. If you would like to get more involved in our activities, please email me ( eloisaraynault(a)gmail.com) or Ed Christopher (edc(a)berwyned.com); we're looking for volunteers. Thank you, Eloisa Major Activities in 2015 The Health and Transportation Subcommittee continued to prosper throughout its fifth year. The 2015 TRB Annual Meeting culminated with a Workshop on Tools to Support Health and Transportation Planning and Analysis. The Workshop featured several tools, foremost of which is the Transportation Health Tool (THT) developed by the USDOT and the CDC ( https://www.transportation.gov/transportation-health-tool). In the fall, a special edition of TR News developed by the Subcommittee hit the streets. The TR News edition contains a plethora of articles addressing the connections between public health and transportation. The journal articles could not have been accomplished without the many authors and their informative and insightful contributions—a special thanks to them. The TR News edition is available at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/trnews/trnews299toc.pdf. >From the 2015 TRB Annual Meeting, the TRB Technical Advisory Council approved a new Task Force proposed by the Subcommittee. In January 2016, the Task Force on Arterials and Public Health (ADD55T) will hold its inaugural meeting. The mission of the Task Force is to inform the planning, design and operations of arterials while considering public health. Interested individuals can join the Task Force as a friend by going through the https://www.mytrb.org/ system and finding ADD55T. In May 2015, the Subcommittee co-sponsored a specialty conference: Moving Active Transportation to Higher Ground: Opportunities for Accelerating the Assessment of Health Impacts. TRB co-sponsored the conference with the American College of Sports Medicine. Proceedings from the conference are at http://www.cvent.com/events/moving-active-transportation-to-higher-ground-o… . For the 2015 TRB Annual Meeting, the Subcommittee received 25 papers for review. Of those, seven were submitted for presentation only, one for publication only and the remaining 17 for both presentation and publication. Eighty-five reviewers provided their support completing 118 reviews (1.39 reviews per reviewer). Each paper had an average of 4.32 reviews. After the review process, seven papers were accepted and presented, and three were sent for publication. In preparation for the 2016 TRB Annual Meeting, the Subcommittee issued a paper call on using transportation and travel analysis/models in coordination with public analysis/models to understand how transportation and land use systems affect public health. The Subcommittee also planned and secured a spot for a Sunday workshop at TRB 2016: Institutionalizing Health in Transportation Agency Practice. The workshop will feature transportation agencies that have successfully institutionalized health into their processes and - where possible - their public health counterparts. The workshop will also spotlight national organizations that are providing key resources for these initiatives. Join our events at TRB 2016 Anyone registered for TRB and with an interest in public health and transportation topics is invited to attend our events. A three-hour workshop (#118) on “Institutionalizing Health in Transportation Agency Practice”, Sunday, January 10, 2016 from 9:00 AM to Noon in room 156 of the Washington DC Convention Center. Poster Session 309, “Innovations in Health and Transportation Research” featuring seven posters, Monday, January 11, 2016 from 10:45 AM to 12:30 PM in the Convention Center Exhibit Hall E. Special Task Force on Arterials and Public Health inaugural meeting, Monday, January 11, 2016 from 3:45 PM to 5:30 PM in the Marriott Marquis Ballroom, Salon 17 (M2). Health and Transportation Subcommittee meeting, Tuesday, January 12, 2016 from 3:45 PM to 5:30 PM in the Marriott Marquis Hotel, Independence B (M4). Future Initiatives For 2016 and beyond, the Subcommittee will continue to serve as a focal point for public health and transportation connections. It hopes to provide a coordination and support role to the public health-related activities of the TRB Executive Committee. In addition, the Subcommittee hopes to integrate its network of supporters for an upcoming health and accessibility conference in development which will focus on the FTA Rides to Wellness program. The Subcommittee will also work closely with the Arterials and Public Health Task Force. External to TRB, the Subcommittee will continue to coordinate with USDOT on activities providing support, where possible. Specifically, the Subcommittee will look for case studies where the THT has been actively used. A concerted effort to develop and submit research problem statements to the various research programs will be made. The dissemination of the public health-themed issue of TR News also will continue. A special subgroup will be assembled to work on 2017 conference activities. Work on the Subcommittee website will continue, as will growing the listserve, which now numbers 385 individuals. We will expand our social media presence, and seek volunteers to help with this effort. Support of topical conferences will be offered as opportunities arise; this includes presenting a workshop at the TRB Tools of the Trade Conference in September of 2016 (which has already been accepted). About the Subcommittee The Health and Transportation Subcommittee was formed in March 2011. It has four parent committees; Environmental Justice in Transportation (ADD50), Urban Data and Information Systems (ABJ30), Travel Behavior and Values (ADB10), and Transportation and Sustainability (ADD40). The Subcommittee bridges two TRB Sections; Planning & Environment, and Policy & Organization. Eloisa Raynault (Consultant, member of ADD50) and Ed Christopher (MKC Associates, Emeritus of ABJ30) are co-chairs. Carey McAndrews (University of Colorado) serves as secretary. There is also a leadership group that meets every six weeks.

Jenks Director, Cooperative Research Programs SUBJECT: Project Panel Nominations for the FY 2016 Transit Cooperative Research Program Immediate Action Requested The purpose of this memorandum is to solicit nominations to serve on project oversight panels for FY 2016 Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) research projects. The TCRP is an applied research program that provides solutions to practical problems faced by transit operators. The primary participants in the TCRP are an independent governing board organized by the Transit Development Corporation and designated the TCRP Oversight and Project Selection (TOPS) Committee; the Transportation Research Board (TRB) as program manager and secretariat for the TOPS Committee; the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) as a vital link to the transit community; and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) as program sponsor. The TOPS Committee met on October 23, 2015, and approved new research projects for Fiscal Year 2016. Descriptions of the new research projects are attached. The purpose of this memorandum is to solicit your nominations for new project panels. We are asking you to nominate individuals with expertise directly relevant to the research proposed, and we would particularly welcome your help in identifying women and minority candidates. Your nominations would be appreciated as soon as possible, but no later than January 29, 2016, so that we may move the program forward in a timely manner. We will begin the panel formation process shortly thereafter. Nominations received after January 29th will not be guaranteed full consideration in the panel formation process. To ensure proper consideration of your panel nominations, we need information on each nominee's affiliation, title, address, approximate age, and, most importantly, professional qualifications related to the particular project. Contacts to determine an individual's interest in serving will be made from this office after we have matched available expertise with that required by the nature of the project. A panel nomination form is attached for your use if a resume is not available. We also encourage submittals via e-mail, which can be sent to jsnell(a)nas.edu<mailto:jsnell@nas.edu>. Panels for the new research projects are scheduled to meet during March/April 2016. Panel members are prohibited from submitting or participating in preparation of proposals on projects under their jurisdiction. They serve on the panels without compensation, but are reimbursed for travel and subsistence expenses. Travel insurance is provided at no cost to the members. In many cases, only two meetings are held in the life of a project, and these normally occur in Washington, D.C. The first meeting is to develop a project statement that is used to solicit proposals; the second meeting is to select a research organization from among those submitting proposals. Other meetings may be dictated by project circumstances; however, they are few and usually at least a year apart. Membership for each panel will number approximately eight. Panels operate under the guidance of a permanent chair, and there is liaison representation from the FTA, APTA, and TRB; the TCRP staff serves as the secretariat. We are grateful for your ongoing support of the TCRP in providing nominees. Typically, nominees for panels in the Cooperative Research Programs outnumber the available positions by about four to one. As a result, we have been able to establish panels truly outstanding in their ability to play a fundamental role in the accomplishment of successful research.
