In an attempt to keep us up-to-date there is more news
to report on the
formation of the TRB health committee. The proposal for the committee
that was submitted for the March deadline was accepted and the committee
is being formed (the proposal is attached). The first order of business
was for TRB to identify a committee chair. Leslie Meehan, TN Department
of Public Health, and I (Ed Christopher, Independent Transportation
Planning Consultant) have been nominated and accepted to serve as
co-chairs. Tom Palmerlee and Gary Jenkins will serve as the TRB staff to
the committee.
The Committee with be organized under the Transportation and Society
Section (AME00) which is part of the Sustainability & Resilience Group
(AM000). Bill Anderson is the TRB staff to the Section and Group. Here
is a link to the Current committee organizational chart.

Leslie and I had our first meeting yesterday with TRB staff and began
discussing the tasks ahead. First on our plate will be to build the
committee membership. This will be done incrementally over the next
several weeks in consultation with TRB staff. More to come.
Stay safe
