Environmental justice (EJ) is an integral part of EPA's mission to protect human health and the environment. EJ is defined as the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. Low-income, minority, tribal and indigenous communities are often disproportionately vulnerable to environmental health challenges because they are faced with greater exposure to many sources of pollutants or contaminants. They are also more likely to be overburdened due to systemic environmental policies resulting in wealth and health inequities or disparities and underserved in adaptive capacity to respond to and cope with emerging environmental stressors caused by climate change. Climate change can create various levels of environmental and health impacts in different regions, communities, and population groups across the nation. Additionally, children, older adults, and people with disabilities or pre-existing health conditions may be most susceptible and vulnerable to climate changes and associated environmental stressors. Proposed research projects should address all of the following research questions: * What may be the most influential community-, population- or lifestage-specific vulnerabilities caused by ongoing climate change that would elevate exposure to pollutants or contaminants and further exacerbate the health effects from exposure to pollutants or contaminants in overburdened communities? * What are the cumulative health impacts of climate change related stressors on vulnerable groups or susceptible lifestages in overburdened communities? * How can community-based scientific research results be translated and/or applied to provide effective solutions to reduce climate change impacts on human health in overburdened communities? For information on eligibility, project specifications, or how to apply, visit: Cumulative Health Impacts at the Intersection of Climate Change, Environmental Justice, and Vulnerable Populations/Lifestages: Community-Based Research for Solutions Request for Applications (RFA)<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.epa.g…> Learn more about EPA Research Grants<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.epa.g…>.

Input sought for new data-driven decisions tool

by Ed Christopher

This may be of interest to some on this list. Now if we can only figure out how to get health more explicitly built into our project selection processes... ------------------------------------------------- The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that it is seeking input as it develops a revised project-selection process intended to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the state’s transportation system. Feedback from the public and stakeholders on the department’s enhanced data-driven approach to project prioritization can be provided on a new webpage as well as a webinar on Sept. 29. The new data-driven decisions tool will use information from IDOT’s nine districts, along with the various data tools the department currently uses, to prioritize projects that change capacity on the system. The areas that IDOT are currently focused on involve data that show potential to impact traffic operations and congestion, economic development, safety and environmental impacts and livability. Input from local stakeholders and officials will be weighed as well. Visit https://idot.click/data-driven-decisions <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001UdVlE1-bzz798ndhVUkK7w4sSBPox5Q4n-8Fov4PQXy…> to learn more and sign up for the upcoming webinar. -- Ed Christopher Transportation Planning Consultant 708-269-5237

Call for Papers: Carolina Planning Journal Volume 47

by Vinella-Brusher, Emma Katherine

Call for Papers: Carolina Planning Journal Volume 47 (Deadline Extended) Carolina Planning Journal (CPJ), the oldest student-run planning journal in the country, is accepting abstracts for papers relating to: PLANNING FOR HEALTHY CITIES ________________________________ Planning has been deeply intertwined with the need for healthier urban populations from the very beginning, with early planners such as Ebenezer Howard and Frederick Law Olmsted attempting to balance public health concerns with the economic and social benefits of the urban environment. Decentralization was pivotal, but as Americans fled to suburbs to escape the poor health conditions of the city center, sprawling development patterns decreased physical activity and food access while increasing rates of asthma and traffic fatalities, particularly in marginalized communities. Modern research has revealed that housing, transportation, and green space all have significant impacts on public health outcomes. Continued urbanization and globalization have only underscored the shared goals of these disciplines. With an estimated 70% of the world’s population living in urban areas by 2050, organizations such as the European Union, World Health Organization, and American Planning Association have recognized the key role planners play in improving and protecting the public’s health for generations to come. There is an ongoing need for planners and public health professionals to collaborate and find sustainable, equitable solutions to creating healthier communities to live, work, and play in. We welcome articles that explore the nexus of planning and health from students, professionals, and researchers alike. ________________________________ Submission Guidelines By September 17, 2021, interested authors should submit a two-page proposal. Proposals should include a title, a description of the proposed topic and its significance, a brief summary of the literature or landscape, and a preliminary list of references (not counted toward the two-page limit). Final papers typically do not exceed 3,000 words. Submit proposals and questions to CarolinaPlanningJournal(a)gmail.com<mailto:CarolinaPlanningJournal@gmail.com>. By October 15, 2021, Carolina Planning Journal will notify authors regarding their proposals. Drafts of full papers will be due by December, and editors will work with authors on drafts of their papers over the course of the winter. The print version of the Journal will be published in the Spring of 2022. Carolina Planning Journal reserves the right to edit articles accepted for publication, subject to the author’s approval, for length, style, and content considerations.

Please note that the Government will not pay for the preparation of any information submitted or for use of that information. We look forward to your input and hope that you will share this RFI opportunity with your colleagues. Background Climate change poses substantial threats to human health across the lifespan. These threats influence diverse health concerns including communicable and non-communicable diseases, injuries, hazardous exposures, mental health, and death. Observational and modeling studies have identified impacts on and threats to health and well-being that are immediate (e.g., extreme weather events such as hurricanes, heat waves, floods and droughts) as well as resulting from more gradual changes in climate (e.g., rising sea levels, shifts in rainfall and humidity). In the United States and globally, structural racism and discrimination place communities of color, under-resourced, health disparity populations, and other historically disadvantaged communities at higher risk from health impacts of climate change. Health consequences of climate change may be direct (e.g., heat stress, death) or indirect (e.g., infectious diseases or conditions associated with pollution) effects, and may occur due to actions taken to mitigate (e.g., changes in energy systems) and adapt (changes in the built environment) to climate change. Understanding the health implications - including potential health benefits -- of actions to prevent, mitigate, and adapt to climate change offers opportunities to improve the social and environmental determinants of health, especially for at-risk communities.

FYI - USDOT Every Place Counts Transportation Toolkit - Designed for Public Audience

by Martinez, Victoria (FHWA)

FYI - I was recently sent a link to this Toolkit which is meant to help the general public figure out how to voice their ideas when their community is engaged in the process of making transportation decisions. It will help them learn about laws and policies that give them the right to participate in transportation decision-making processes. It will also help them learn how to take advantage of opportunities that occur during the process of planning, funding, designing, building and maintaining transportation projects. While it is a little long, it is well done. See https://www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.gov/files/docs/ToolkitFinal2017.pdf
