Join FTA at June 6-7 Workshop Exploring Metrics at the Intersection of Healthcare and Transportation

Does providing transportation access lead to improved health?

FTA is sponsoring a two-day workshop to explore the intersection of healthcare and transportation and discuss ways that research can quantify how partnerships between healthcare and transportation providers lead to positive health outcomes. Held by the Transportation Research Board and the Health and Medicine Division, both of the National Academies of Science, the June 6-7 workshop is part of FTA’s Rides to Wellness initiative.

View complete meeting details, the draft agenda and register to attend the meeting at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. or via a live webcast. 

The workshop, which brings together experts from the transportation, health, and human services sectors, will provide an overview of efforts in the field. It will showcase local examples of formal and informal healthcare and transportation partnerships; explore ways to use data to estimate the value of transportation to healthcare in various settings; examine performance measures pertinent to the relationship between transit/transportation services and healthcare outcomes; and, discuss what is needed to calculate the return on investment in terms of health outcomes. A workshop summary based on the day’s proceedings will be prepared.
