In 2007, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Planning and
Environment Group launched a new competition looking for fresh and
creative methods for communicating technical transportation issues
with “John and Jane Q. Public” to share with others within the
profession. The theme for this year's call is "Communicating the
Connection, Transportation and Public Health" I have attached the
flyer and information on the program can be found at
https://sites.google.com/site/trbcommitteeada60/jjpcompetition. The
link to the solicitation for this year is at
https://sites.google.com/site/trbcommitteeada60/jjpcompetition/2016-communicating-the-connection-transportation-and-public-health.
The winning entries, will be judged and selected by a panel of
transportation and communication professionals. They will be
featured in both a podium and a poster session at the TRB 95th
Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. (January 8-12, 2017). Winning
entries also will be featured in an edition of TRB’s Transportation
Research News (TRNews). For those of you not familiar with TRNews,
last September the TRB Subcommittee on Health and Transportation
developed a special issue devoted entirely to health and
transportation. It can be viewed in its entirety at
