[H+T--Friends] Deadline for the 2015 EJ Small Grants Request for Applications Extended to Jan 9

by Faith.Hall＠dot.gov

Hi Everyone: While I am not working on this directly, I do believe that innovative public involvement / data collection activities related to EJ / equity / health / transportation conducted by community groups and / or, *ideally* in cooperation with transportation agencies would be eligible. Note the focus on preparedness / resilience. Due Jan. 9. $30K would definitely kickstart some local dialogue and help bolster a portfolio that could ultimately appeal to larger philanthropic funders doing community development work? . . . Very exciting! Just a thought. Full info below. Happy Thanksgiving, F. ______________________________ Faith Hall Community Planner FTA Office of Planning and Environment U.S.Department of Transportation (202) 366-9055 faith.hall(a)dot.gov<mailto:faith.hall@dot.gov> [Facebook icon]<https://www.facebook.com/FTADOT> [Twitter Icon] <https://twitter.com/FTA_DOT> Get Involved in Regional Transportation Planning! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lqJJDP1bGE From: Environmental Justice EPA [mailto:environmental-justice@epa.gov] Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2014 9:13 AM To: Environmental Justice information Subject: [epa-ej] Deadline for the 2015 EJ Small Grants Request for Applications Extended Environmental Justice Mailing List Deadline for the 2015 EJ Small Grants Request for Applications Extended Correction: An earlier version of this message incorrectly stated that the funds will be awarded for a two-year period. It should have said one-year period. The deadline for submitting applications for EPA's 2015 Environmental Justice Small Grants (EJSG) Program has been extended to January 9, 2015. The EJSG Program provides funding for eligible applicants for projects that address local environmental and/or public health issues within an affected community. The EJSG Program is designed to help eligible non-profit organizations and Tribal communities understand and address exposure to multiple environmental harms and risks at the local level. EPA recognizes the critical role of helping communities with localized strategies to avoid, lessen, or delay the risks and impacts associated with our changing climate. As a result, this year's EJSG program will have a special emphasis on proposals supporting community-based preparedness and resilience efforts (community climate resiliency). In an effort to ensure that support reaches new areas, the Agency also is prioritizing funding to organizations that have not recently received an award under the EJSG Program. The total estimated amount of funding available for awards under this solicitation for fiscal year 2015 is approximately $1,200,000. EPA anticipates awarding up to four grants per EPA region in amounts of up to $30,000 per award for a one-year project period.

[H+T--Friends] Seeking Health/Transporation Planning Framework beta test sites

by Ed.Christopher＠dot.gov

This may of interest to some. FHWA and FTA are seeking transportation agencies to “beta” test a new planning Framework. The Framework is a step-by-step process for agencies to follow to encourage them to think holistically about the health impacts of decisions made in the corridor planning processes. As part of the Framework’s development, FHWA is seeking up to five agencies across the country to test the Framwork during an upcoming or active corridor study. Although there is no direct funding allocation associated with this opportunity, technical assistance will be provided by a consultant lead research team. Any agency with an interest in this opportunity should visit this link for more information and who to contact. The deadline to submit an application to be considered a a beta test site is November 26, 2014. http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/health_in_transportation/research_efforts/… Ed Christopher

[H+T--Friends] Designing and Planning for Healthy Cities - A Conversation With Richard Jackson, Tim Beatley and Georges Benjamin

by Eloisa Raynault

Greetings TRB H+T Friends, This webinar may be of interest to you and your networks. Eloisa ** October 30 Webinar: Designing and Planning for Healthy Cities On Thursday, October 30, the Security & Sustainability Forum and the American Public Health Association will co-host a webinar featuring Tim Beatley of the University of Virginia and Richard Jackson of UCLA discussing creating cities that are compelling and healthy places to live, work, and play. 12:45 PM - 2:00 PM EDT Register here: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/949150209 Background: The environment that we construct affects both humans and our natural world in myriad ways. There is a pressing need to create healthy places and to reduce the health threats inherent in places already built. However, there has been little awareness of the adverse effects of what we have constructed-or the positive benefits of well designed built environments. Join SSF on October 30th in a rare opportunity to listen in on a conversation between two of the thought leaders in public health and urban planning and design -- UCLA Professor Richard Jackson co-author of Urban Sprawl and Public Health and co-editor of Making Healthy Places; and Tim Beatley of the University of Virginia and author of Biophilic Cities and Blue Urbanism plus several other books on urban and environmental planning. The session will be moderated by Dr. Georges Benjamin, Executive Director of the American Pubic Health Association, which is co-producing the webinar.

[H+T--Friends] New report: Statewide Transportation Planning for Healthy Communities

by Eloisa Raynault

This new report may be of interest. *The Federal Highway Administration has released a report that presents a model for state departments of transportation to integrate public health considerations into their transportation planning and decision making.* The FHWA report, “Statewide Transportation Planning for Healthy Communities,” was developed for FHWA by the USDOT Volpe Center and includes case studies on the California, Iowa, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and North Carolina DOTs and their collaboration with public health partners. It also provides a synthesis of trends, lessons learned, and opportunities for DOT peer agencies and their partners to consider health in transportation planning and programming. The report complements the earlier FHWA report by the same team, “Metropolitan Area Transportation Planning for Healthy Communities,” which evaluates how several MPOs and their partners are collaborating to bring broad consideration of public health into their planning. Both reports and corresponding one-page summaries can be found on the health page of the FHWA/FTA Transportation Planning Capacity Building Program at: http://www.planning.dot.gov/healthy_communities_desc.asp We encourage you to disseminate the report through your website, newsletter, or networks as you deem appropriate. Please feel free to make use the following language as useful: - Announcements in newsletters, etc. about the new report: The Federal Highway Administration has released a report that presents a model for state departments of transportation to integrate public health considerations into their transportation planning and decision making. The white paper, and a previous, complementary white paper about the metropolitan area planning process, are available from the FHWA/FTA Transportation Planning Capacity building program: http://www.planning.dot.gov/healthy_communities_desc.asp - Website links to the health reports: The Federal Highway Administration has developed two reports that present models for state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations to integrate public health considerations into their transportation planning and decision making. Both reports and corresponding one-page summaries can be found on the health landing page of the FHWA/FTA Transportation Planning Capacity Building Program: http://www.planning.dot.gov/healthy_communities_desc.asp Please contact FHWA project manager Fred Bowers with any questions or comments about the reports (Frederick.Bowers(a)dot.gov).
