US Cancer Survivors More Likely To Report Delays In Healthcare Due To Transportation Barriers Than Individuals Without History Of Cancer, Study Finds.
The ASCO Post<https://mailview.bulletinintelligence.com/mailview.aspx?m=2022040101nci&r=2…> (3/31, Stenger) reports, “In a study,” investigators “found that U.S. cancer survivors were more likely to report delays in health care due to transportation barriers than persons without a history of cancer, with the difference driven by barriers among younger cancer survivors.” The findings<https://mailview.bulletinintelligence.com/mailview.aspx?m=2022040101nci&r=2…> were published in a research letter in JAMA Oncology.

Hi Carey,
Do you know who might have set up the Twitter account “trbhealth”, I see that the email was @TRB Health and Transportation. I’m not sure who has access to that email (NOTE: if you aren’t Carey McAndrews, I guess you have access to that account - please let me know!).
Also, do you know who was helping with other sites such as FB, LinkedIn, etc.?
Thanks!
Owen

Please share widely with your networks.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R) is conducting an open “Call for Ideas” session on March 18, 2022, 1:30 – 3:00PM EST.
The purpose of this listening session is to obtain stakeholder input and research ideas to help inform the development of DOT's Research, Development, and Technology (RD&T) Strategic Plan for fiscal years (FY) 2022-2026. We welcome your views on USDOT's research vision, strategic goals, and priorities, and how our research programs can advance the transportation system of the present and future. The RD&T Strategic Plan will align with DOT’s Draft Strategic Framework<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.trans…>.
We are soliciting research ideas in advance of the session and may call on you to share your idea during the event. Please register to attend and submit research ideas at: https://usdot.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_oQL96GxpTMSHQ9_0Gdl4Fw<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fusdot.zoo…>.
Please help us shape our research plans at this pivotal moment in the transformation of the nation's transportation system.
If you are unable to attend the “Call for Ideas” session, please submit research ideas to the Request for Information at https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/30/2021-28283/transportat…<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.feder…>.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Jordan Katz at Jordan.katz(a)dot.gov<mailto:Jordan.katz@dot.gov>.
FYI, for those with journal access--how centering active travel in policy
can improve health outcomes AND reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Subject: Health Benefits of Strategies for Carbon Mitigation in US
Transportation, 2017-2050
To: Neil Maizlish <neil3971(a)comcast.net>
Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to share our recently published research article "Health
Benefits of Strategies for Carbon Mitigation in US Transportation,
2017-2050", which appeared February 23, 2022 in the online March issue of
the *American Journal of Public Health*.
https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2021.306600
The research compares the health benefits of active transportation versus
electrification of cars as strategies to decarbonize the transportation
sector. We believe this to be the first U.S. national estimate that
integrates physical activity from active transport, air pollution reduction
from tailpipe emissions, and road traffic injuries. As we build back
better and strive for racial and health equity, we hope this information
will inform policy making to improve public health and urgently reduce
carbon emissions in transportation.
Sincerely,
Neil Maizlish

*Abstract*
*Health Benefits of Strategies for Carbon Mitigation in US Transportation,
2017**‒**2050*

*Objectives.* To quantify health benefits and carbon emissions of 2
transportation scenarios that contrast optimum levels of physical activity
from active travel and minimal air pollution from electric cars.
*Methods.* We used data on burden of disease, travel, and vehicle emissions
in the US population and a health impact model to assess health benefits
and harms of physical activity from transportation-related walking and
cycling, fine particulate pollution from car emissions, and road traffic
injuries. We compared baseline travel with walking and cycling a median of
150 weekly minutes for physical activity, and with electric cars that
minimized carbon pollution and fine particulates.
*Results.* In 2050, the target year for carbon neutrality, the active
travel scenario avoided 167 000 deaths and gained 2.5 million
disability-adjusted life years, monetized at $1.6 trillion using the value
of a statistical life. Carbon emissions were reduced by 24% from baseline.
Electric cars avoided 1400 deaths and gained 16 400 disability-adjusted
life years, monetized at $13 billion.
*Conclusions.* To achieve carbon neutrality in transportation and maximize
health benefits, active travel should have a prominent role along with
electric vehicles in national blueprints.

FYI - Two announcements
On February 28h: from 1-3pm eastern time, USDOT will host a webinar on the RAISE application process, specifically for Environmental Justice Communities, Areas of Persistent Poverty, and Historically Disadvantaged Communities.

CEQ is taking comment on the beta version of their Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST): See the February 18 press release https://www.whitehouse.gov/ceq/news-updates/2022/02/18/ceq-publishes-draft-…. The beta version of the tool, on which the public is being asked to provide feedback over the coming 60 days, will help agencies identify disadvantaged communities to ensure that everyone is receiving the benefits intended from Federal programs.
Apologies for cross-posting
The International Conference on Transport & Health (ICTH) will be holding its 2022 conferences in various global locations due to the uncertainties surrounding COVID-19.
The conference aims to bring researchers and practitioners from transport and health fields together. Proposals from researchers and practitioners are welcome. Various options for presenting your work/ideas are given so as to accommodate various preferences.
Abstracts are due by the 14th of February and the sub-conferences will be held in June, 2022.
