"Toward an integrated mobility agenda<http://safetrec.berkeley.edu/news/seminar-11-30-satariano.html>… noon-1 p.m., Friday, November 30 *[image: satariano]Presentation by Bill Satariano*, Professor of Epidemiology and Community Health, UC Berkeley Mobility affects the health and well-being of a growing aging population. Although this is an important area of research, most of the work focuses on one type of mobility at a time, e.g., walking or driving or the use of passenger transport. This presentation outlines an integrated mobility agenda, which is based on the lived experiences of older adults, and examines the health effects of combinations of different modes of mobility as part of everyday life, e.g., walking and driving. The research and practice implications of this integrated approach are addressed. *Dr. Satariano is Professor of Epidemiology and Community Health. His areas of interest include aging and mobility, cancer survival, and the effects of environmental design on health and well-being in older populations.* 2nd Floor conference room at SafeTREC, 2614 Dwight Way #7374, Berkeley, CA 94720-7374<http://safetrec.berkeley.edu/contact/maps.html?addr=2614+dwig… (map) Register here to attend the meeting remotely<https://cc.readytalk.com/r/qe12gouxfryc>yc>.

SafeTREC in the News: [image: pedestrian forum logo]<http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/ped_bike/pedforum/2012/winter/#s4>Sa… Pedestrian Safety Improvement Program Featured in FHWA Pedestrian Forum Winter 2012 <http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/ped_bike/pedforum/2012/winter/#s4> ...California is developing a Pedestrian Safety Improvement Program (PSIP) modeled after the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). HSIP was created under the 2005 transportation authorization law, the Safe Accountable Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEALU), as one of the core Federal-Aid funding sources. HSIP provides funding for safety projects aimed at reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Although pedestrian safety projects are eligible for HSIP funding, it has sometimes been difficult for states and localities to justify spending HSIP funds on projects that will improve safety for these users because the related crashes are so infrequent—California's program is dedicated solely to pedestrians....
