Good point Marc!
We worked on a report with TransForm for the California Department of
Public Health that does try to address those important issues.
"Creating Healthy Regional Transportation Plans: A Primer for California's
Public Health Community on Regional Transportation Plans and Sustainable
Communities Strategies"
http://transformca.org/resource/creating-healthy-regional-transportation-pl…
Its mostly focused on California but is hopefully interesting for others to
read as well.
Feel free to contact me or Stuart Cohen from TransForm (cc-ed above)
directly if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Beth

It is fascinating and dismaying to me that a report
like this can be
written, with no mention whatsoever of equity, environmental justice,
disadvantaged people, discrimination, health disparities, etc.

*Subject: *[H+T--Friends] New report on public health and
transportation planning
A new report from the National Association of Regional Councils (NARC) might
be of interest to you and your networks:
*NARC Report Released, Integrating Public Health and Transportation
Planning: Perspectives for MPOs and COGs: *
NARC recently released a summary report of efforts made by metropolitan
planning organizations (MPOs) to integrate public health factors and
considerations into their transportation plans. Additionally, the report
offers options through which an MPO can work with its Council of Government
(COG) to integrate non-transportation planning activities into the
transportation and public health discussion.
