Fwd: FHWA, USDOT - Seeking Case Study Ideas: Integrating Public Health in Transportation Planning on Public Lands (deadline, June 18)

Thanks! > > > > *********** > > Integrating Public Health in Public Land Transportation Planning > > Call for Case Studies > > Background > > Public health and transportation are by themselves important public policy areas that attract the attention of public officials at all levels of government. The long-range planning decisions made for the transportation system can affect and influence other policy outcomes relating to public health. It is thus of critical importance that this relationship be better understood and viewed from the perspective of how transportation decisions can lead to improved public health outcomes. As stewards of the Nation’s Federal lands, that are being used extensively by visitors, Federal Land Management Agencies (FLMAs) have an opportunity to reinforce this relationship. Incorporating public health considerations into transportation planning is not yet standard practice across FLMAs. Further study is needed to enhance this linkage in order to support efforts to improve public health-related outcomes on Federal lands. > > > > The purpose of this project is to develop and make recommendations for a framework that integrates public health considerations into transportation planning processes for FLMAs. > > > > Call for Case Studies > > Do you know of an example of how public health considerations have successfully been integrated into transportation planning on Federal lands? If so, the project team wants to hear from you. We are looking for case studies that touch upon one or more of the following aspects of public health: > > 1) Safety (e.g., on roads, trails, and personal safety) > > 2) Active transportation (e.g., walking, hiking, bicycling) > > 3) Air quality (e.g., emissions, smoke, dust) > > 4) Transmission of infectious disease (e.g., COVID-19) > > 5) Transportation equity ( i.e., consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals, especially historically underserved communities, including access, travel options/modes, and the fairness of the distribution of benefits and costs [e.g., related to transportation access, services, facilities, activities]) > > 6) Emergency/disaster management (e.g., evacuation during fires, natural disasters) > > 7) Environmental impacts/climate change (e.g., water issues) > > 8) Nature-based design/exposure to nature (e.g., trails enabling access to natural sounds, vistas, trees) > > > > To submit a case study idea, please contact the study project managers to discuss the case study idea directly.

FYI - NaTMEC: Emerging Equipment, Technologies and Capabilities to Address Travel Monitoring Basics and Beyond

by Martinez, Victoria (FHWA)

FYI NaTMEC: Emerging Equipment, Technologies and Capabilities to Address Travel Monitoring Basics and Beyond This webinar is being presented as part of a series partnership with the National Travel Monitoring Exposition and Conference<https://www.natmec.org/>, or NaTMEC. NaTMEC was created to provide travel monitoring professionals and transportation data users from around the world opportunities to share knowledge and good practices, exchange ideas, revisit fundamental concepts, learn new processes, procedures and techniques, and see the latest advancements in policy, technology, and equipment. In lieu of an in-person conference in 2020, NaTMEC is moving to a virtual format to be held June 21-25, 2021. Check natmec-dot-org for more information as it becomes available. https://www.pathlms.com/ite/courses/30606 Webinar Description: Jurisdictions often rely on observed counts as data sources for bicyclist or pedestrian volume collected either manually over short durations of by automation for longer-term counts. Models are then developed from these observational data at limited set of locations to extrapolate network-wide conditions. Newer sources of pedestrian and bicyclist activity data have emerged from GPS-based apps (Strava, Ride Report, Map My Ride and others), GPS-enabled bike and scooter sharing systems, aggregators that use these passively-crowdsourced data (i.e. StreetLight), and machine vision counts from signalized intersection control systems. These emerging data sources have advantages and disadvantages to consider when complementing traditional count data.
